Thanks for the video I enjoyed it!Gonna start my first saltwater fish only 120 gal.this summer Im 3.5 hours from any fish stores can you recommend a type of sand and where to buy the rock you set up in your tank please!? thank you
When it comes to rock and sand, it is very much a personal preference and goals situation. For example, if your goal is to cycle the aquarium as soon as possible, you will want to get live rock. Just know live rock is more expensive than dry rock. However, not only will live rock cycle your tank much faster, you will likely also skip the “ugly phase” of the new tank. If you are not in a rush to cycle the tank, dry rock works, will save you quite a bit of money, and I typically use dry rock myself as I tend to need a lot and cannot afford that much live rock. I have purchased rock from bulk reef supply in the past but lately, I look at my local fish group first or FB market place. I highly recommend searching for your closest local aquarium group/hobby/society as the benefits are endless. Another thing to think about is your comfortability gluing rock together to make your structures. This isn’t always easy or fun and if you aren’t interested in this, you can get “rock trees” from aquarium stores that come with rock, pre drilled holes, and poles to secure it all. As far as sand, I personally stay away from super fine sand. It clouds the tank to easily. Opposite end of the spectrum would be crush coral but I wouldn’t get that either. I would get a basic aragonite sand and shoot for 1 to 2 inches. You definitely don’t need a deep sand bed if it’s fish only. Unless you plan on getting a specific inhabitant that needs a deep sand bed. To recap, I recommend checking with local aquarium groups or marketplace for rock first, if no luck, bulk reef supply. You can get the sand practically anywhere.
