dieselndixie Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have a bout 3 more weeks to decide what to use. I have the water turning over twice a day, and the ph is starting to come down a hair....so, can anyone think of any reason not to use this limestone?

hammondegge Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 the aragonite should bubble when exposed to a weak acid like vinegar (if you get an opportunity to test it. the silicon sand will not react to vinegar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Yeah I'm pretty sure it's yardright sand now. Another really good way of determining if it's the right stuff is if it says "NOT FOR USE IN AQUARIUMS". Caribsea struck some kind of deal to make them right that on the bags.
