I was browsing RC and came across this statement and it really made me think
"I'm not totally certain about this, but how about that Caribsea live sand (at a premium price) in a bag that sits in a stock room for 6 months and when you see it on the shelf there's cyano in it. (I guess cyano makes it live sand.)
Whatever happened to being able to get just plain aragonite sand."
What does everyone think of this "so-called" live sand. Is it really that much more benefecial than dry aragonite sand or regular play sand??? As far as the "buffering benefit" I have heard that in an average home aquarium that there is not that much buffering that occurs because there is not enough "Live Sand" to create the buffering capability.
