Hello all. My name is Megan and I'm here with my friend Victoria. We're about to start a SW tank, but neither of us has ever done it before. I'm doing a bunch of research about sand, LR and other aspects, but each answer leads to more questions. My two main questions I have are: 1)the benefits of live sand versus dead sand and 2) the benefits of LR versus not live rock. I know you want to create as natural an environment as possible. However, we're reluctant to invest hundreds of dollars on a LR and sand and coral when the tank will most likely crash. So, can anyone help us out and help us decide if we should use live sand or dead sand and live rock or not? Thank you so much.
