    Well put mutt's. I agree I really would not recomend the crushed coral on the top. I have had alot of people come in to the store lately who have done that and there nitrates have been testing anywhere from 50-100ppm.
    Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

    Randy,
    I just added sand to my new tank a few days ago...don't even have rock in yet! I went with a DSB and was told by a VERY GOOD SOURCE at our local reef only store that fine sand is best for a DSB. I bought enough sand to go 6", but when I started adding sand, I realized that 5" was plenty! So, I have 5" and it looks great. I went with the finest stuff they had, basically like sugar. I was told that finer is better for DSB. Good luck.
    ...I think my fish just farted.
