    You can see I used to have crushed coral. I ditched that when the tank was emptied and now I have 20 pounds of aragonite sand. I think it is the "sugar fone" stuff. It's tiny.

    Thanks. You can see in "October" and my most recent scape, it looks pretty natural. Each one only has about 16 lbs. I will be combining these two. The new rock is all dry, where as the other rock is already live rock.

    :( Is there a faster way to mix salt/water? I have a few 5gallon buckets, the salt, a powerhead, and a heater. But I only have one heater. At this rate, I can only do 10g per 24 hrs.

    If theres nothing live in your tank, I don't think the temp matters. I started mixing mine when the water was room temp with the salt.

    I really don't know though
