Sand boosting questions.

[irahmatulla]

I recently had a near catastrophic event that made me upgrade to my 90g (not RR) and that thread apparently did not post so. I have decided since the tank is not drilled DSB is going to be a good bet. I did not have enough sand when the emergency swap went down, so, I have to add a bit more sand. (2-3 inches) I have looked at Indo-Pacific farms, and Garf, and I am curious as to what kind of experience people have had. We made the mistake of getting a sand sifting star a few weeks ago, and I do not want him to starve, or kill off my sand. What is the best/easiest way to add a lot of life to my "live sand". I think if I buy a few more bags of Caribsea that will not offer that much life. I want mega worms, and tunneling pods. We have looked at both, and considered getting the CuC from Garf that comes 2 lbs of grunge....just not sure if that or the mix'n'match from Indo is better. Also, do not have any reefers around here to trade scoops of sand with, so......limited options.

BTW: The emergency swap went well, getting better flow and coral expansion since then. Was just worried about having to put all the coral back in real hazy water.
