Just went to LFS to look at fishes n corals....and also to find live sand for my tank next week.....

They are selling live sand at $5/kg......is it worth it?

And also what is the different between their live sand and live sand packed in sealed packaging?

Any bros here have experience in this?

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
