If yes, which lsf sells them.

2) Also, are we able to import in packaged "Live sand" from

hi,

The sand sold in our LFS are just sand of different grain size and not live sand. I've seen certain websites sellin live sand too but i'm not sure how much so alive they'd be by the time they reach here

In any case, u might wanna ask ard if anyone with a long running DSB to give ya alittle of their sand to seed ur new sand bed. Unfortunately, mine's pretty new so i cant be of service.

are u referring to live aragonite sand? or mineral mud.....?

mineral mud claims to consist 'live marine bacteria' but it is suggested to use for refugium

live aragonite also claims to consist 'millions of heterotrophic, autotrophic, and chemolithotrophic bacteria'

nearly got myself on the live aragonite...hehehe...ehng p*tm*rt came in their #0 sand in the nick of time

i dun thk custom will chiong kong...if not all my package from overseas were chiong kong long ago liao

[pospeh]

Live sand MUST be wet.
