SSB = Shallow Sand Bed
DSB = Deep Sand Bed (a tank with a 4"+ sand bed)

(Edit) Looks like I chimed in a few minutes too late :)

Instant Ocean (IO or RC) and Tropic Marin have been around for a long time and are pretty well proven I'd say. I use Reef Crystals myself.

They don't claim the efficiency of their reflectors (that I found) and the "SlimPaq high output T5 lamps offer a quantum leap in lamp performance, with more than 50% higher output compared to an...

First thing that happened was the entire top-layer of sand directly exposed to light become clumpy, and began to form bubbles -- not cyano. I was told (here at RC) it was most likely new life in the...
