I live in the Tampa Bay area and was thinking of collecting some live sand and maybe even water from the beach. I go the idea from reading an article on chucksaddiction.com. Now he is out in the Philippians so he probably has less pollution to contend with. He suggest wading out as far as you can at low tide and collecting the top layer of sand and then sifting it to remove any large objects or visible life. My kids have a sand sifter in their beach toys. I have an 2nd 8 gallon nano I was thinking of trying this with. I started my other 8 gallon nano and RSM 130 with dry and rock and it was recently brought to my attention that I may lack bio-diversity. Any thoughts on this? Any one try this themselves?
