Default about exchanging sand

Beverly, thanks for the link. It's nice to see people provide such detailed information to help out others. I'll be trying your home made food recipe once the tank is set up.

About exchanging sand between aquariums, what I'm hearing is to be very careful. In fact it is not really advised unless you're just starting out. Two things have been pointed out.

- The existing colonies might choke off any new additions before they have a chance to establish.
- A pest under control in someone else's tank may not have any natural control or predators in your tanks and take over.
