CaribSea Aquarium Substrates

Re: CaribSea Aquarium Substrates

One bag did the bottom of my 29gal nano. Maybe it just depends on the bag size? Lol, no bag jokes please lol.

Sadly, I did get mine at Petsmart, but have not seen it since.

how deep did you make it?

I dont like a whole lot.  its either very shallow or very deep for me.  no in between.

i just picked up 3 bags from milton.  $50 each.  should be more than enough for my 200 gallon.  Might only use 2 of them.

It's got to be the most widely used substrate from caribsea and is definitely the best for a SSB.  I used a mix of sugar with special grade seafloor on top for my DSB.  I also used a bag of crushed coral in the really high flow area..just to keep the sugar sand from being exposed.

It made it 1/2" deep. I do have egg crate across the bottom before placing the sand

I love the fact that I can read other threads and learn so much! I had a crushed coral base in the 65 and thought that possibly it was too rough for some of the inverts. The 135 came with sand and I've very quickly decided I don't like it. The tomato clowns do a great job of swishing it all over everything. I was thinking about adding a little of my crushed coral over top of it, but wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not. Thanks Darryl for the info about the various substrates you've combined. I love the look of some of them!
