For the most part Live Sand is a scam. Today I bought three 40lb bags of dry special grade sea floor. When I researched the live sand pretty much every expert says it's all fluff and that a cup of sand from someone else will bring life to your whole sand bed quickly just as well.

True, but would rather not have to wash 300 lbs of sand. can pour the "live" right in.

Also, I dont think its all fluff. a year or so back I set up a 20 gallon using dry macro rock, and some ocean direct live sand. a few weeks later the sand was swarming with pods and spagetti worms. no way they came in the rock. gonna go with mostly agramax select, and put OD original on top,unles I can find something better.
