Hi All,
I have a 55 gal demasoni/yellow lab tank that is thriving- lots of babies, healthy fish etc... the only problem is that my sand substrate has destroyed my HOB filters. I've replaced motors and impellers countless times. I've taken all the necessary precautions- covering the intake tubing, lowering the sand level near the filters etc.., but I'm pretty much fed up shelling out money to replace these expensive parts. I am thinking about switching to the crushed coral. Anybody have experience with crushed coral as an substrate for african tanks? How much should I buy- 40lbs enough? What brand do you suggest, colors etc... Thanks folks!
Mike
