Hey Sean,

Where did you get this sand? Tropic Eden Reef Flakes, somewhere local?

I'm having problems with my Caribsea sand blowing everywhere and getting moved around. I was thinking of adding a 1/4" layer of something a bit larger in particle size to help keep movement and dust storms down.

How did this work with your Vortech / Modded Tunze?

I ordered it from Premium Aquatics
Hands down the best sand I've ever used. A lot cleaner than others, and no problems with pumps blowing it around

well i must have missed a sale going on in another thread because by the looks of it ide guess that you sold the system??? i was really looking forwards to seeing what the offspring of 50 rics looks like growing on the roots of a bunch of mangroves! why did you decide to sell it?

[cpreefguy]

Yeah, actually just sold the tank a few minutes ago.

At one point, I had 200+ rics in there. I was hoping for 100% ricordea coverage

I sold it because it was too large for the space, plus some other stuff, but I hope to do something similar in the future

[chrismunn]

well thats too bad. i hope it all works out for you next time. a mature mangrove lagoon with rics up the whazoo would look pretty sweet!

and can i saw WOW! 200 rics man?!?!??! i woulda loved to have a piece of that buy off! i probably woulda bought them all!

can i ask where you got all your rics from? the few that i have now i got from coralmorphologic.com for a decent price on the WYSIWYG stuff. im very happy with that company. back in california i was able to pick up some rics from a place in sacramento for 5 bucks a head! never again, i got lucky!

Some guy had an ebay auction, but I have not seen him list any since...
