do you have a nitrate level and it has not increased or do you have 0 nitrates?
.. if it is a sugar sand you can get a good nitrate reduction in as little as 1"....
the second is that a lot of the "critters" that you want for a DSB to function properly need more than 1 or 2" of depth

Steve;
Nitrates and phosphates tested at 0. After about 2 years I got tired of testing them since you know what the answer is before you test. Maybe its time to test again.
Yes- it is
sugar fine arogonite with a cucumber and scarlets for maintenance (and a fine job the cucumber does
)
My previous 230gal tank needed to be taken down due to moving a few years ago. It used a plenum with about 3" of various grades of aragonite. I presume many of you have already had to cleanup one of these
. Its about as pleasant as going for a swim in a septic tank.
