No, not really... because virtually all people I see with aragonite have coarse aragonite which doesn't make for a good DSB.

I've heard of a few people who have gotten fine aragonite, but I've...

I believe aragonite is ideal, but it's certainly not necessary. And I've actually never been able to find really fine aragonite.

I'd like to know why it would be to anyone's advantage to have a place where Bomber can be asked questions. Why do we keep turning to the advice of a diving guide who's falsely claimed to work for...

You don't need aragonite to set up a good sand bed. Silica sand works just fine.

Again, if you didn't know how to care for your sandbed, then obviously taking it out would be to your advantage.

It's bad for anyone who wants truly live rock.... but yes, I would think it's worse for people wanting a DSB.

SeanT and Kevin--- look in the first few pages of this post. I already explain why these animals die during "cooking." They either die from lack of light or from starvation.

Well, you went BB at the same time? That alone could explain it. Some people can't keep DSBs... it just doesn't work out for them. You're likely just better at the BB thing than the DSB thing.
