Comments: I used this in a 30 gallon refugium I set up, and I mixed it with live sand and the nitrates and nitrites dropped to zero in about 48 hours in my main 120 aquarium, this base is porous enough for bacteria to colonize and from what I have seen, I don't think it will harden, all my sand sifting inverts glide threw it. I wouldn't use it in my main aquarium, but I would recommend highly for a refugium. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Below Average

birdseed by JON (ReefDragon on RC)

Comments: I was pretty disappointed with this stuff -- my friend unintentionally summed it up when he looked at it and said, "Birdseed?" The grains are in fact little spheres, slightly larger than poppy seeds, and are not really reminiscent of anything I've seen in the wild. I'll probably pick up some typical oolitic aragonite sand instead. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I like this product. It looks natural,did not require a lot of rinsing like some other products on the market. It also does not compact ,making it easier for my tiger jaw fish to burrow into it. I am using this product in addition to live rock & live sand/crushed coral in my folr and reef tanks,to boost biological filtration capacity. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
