Hello All,

Looking for some advice.

This is my first post here. I am getting ready to set up a new 65g breeder to be a FOWLR to begin with.

Have read many posts about South Down sand, but don't yet understand what is special about it? How does it differ from the Play Sand at Lowe's? What about sand from the Gulf?

For filtration, I'm thinking of using an Emperor 400 along with a powerhead w/bio filter to stir things up, sand and/or crushed coral plus Live Rock.

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed
