• Who launched on dry aragonite?

  • Christopher4125

A couple of questions arose: 1. What is the point of buying live aragonite sand if the bacteria that are so extensively described are not visible? What tester can be used to see them? NONE... 2. If live rocks need to be purchased, then why buy live sand? Is it just for a quick aquarium startup? Although what is the point of buying live rocks and live sand if I personally am not sure that there are live bacteria in the bag of wet sand, and that after salting, you still have to wait at least 1 month to start anything with livestock? So what quick startup are we talking about? It's unclear.

I asked 2 questions and answered them myself. I launched 750 liters on dry sand, everything went well, and it will launch even better on Black Sea sand. Just ask Lyokha SHERKHAN or Anatoly... cheap and effective.

I have been asking myself these 2 questions for half a year now!) I decided to share)) Regarding the Black Sea, I will probably do it that way, I wanted to wait until summer to go and dig myself, but it seems I won't be able to wait...

It's better to buy live sand than to wait for summer, and you also need to transport it alive; otherwise, it's game over. I've launched with both dry and Black Sea live sand, as well as Caribbean Sea live sand, and each has its own pros and cons, just like their appearance and hardiness. But definitely, the more live rock (live stones) and, if possible, sand, the better!

Here is where my question arises! Unless you send it somewhere to be checked under a microscope! What if it's just regular aragonite dry sand, but you'll have to pay for it as if it were live! Or I read somewhere that someone bought expired sand...
