Live Sand

[pgrantz]

I am looking for some good live sand to mix in my sand bed, and was recommended to go to the Reef Central sponsor page and go to Gulf View, but I didn't see it. Does anyone know what happened to it?

Thanks for the live sand links. I will check them out. I also found what sounds like really good live sand from Tampa Bay Live Rocks (one of the sponsors on Reef Central).

Anyone have any pros/cons or personal experiences regarding "Bio-sand?"

I saw this last night for the first time at my LFS. It is purported to be "live" sand - with a shelf-life of ONE YEAR (thick, clear plastic bag of sand and water, etc, etc...)

At $40 bucks a bag though it seemed not only expensive, but kind of 'cheesy.'
