When I got my tank a few years ago I put in Oolite for the sand-bed.
Recently, I had seen a few posts saying that crushed coral is bad and fine sand is the right thing to use. Well what I have is Oolite and it is not fine sand like table salt but looks similar to crushed coral pieces.
I am wondering if it is the size thats bad or the actual item.
Also should I replace with a very fine sand or place new sand ontop of the Oolite?
What do you suggest?
My tank is not reef-ready and I use an Eheim canister filter if that matters.
I know I need a deeper bed to have some different animals, that is why I am asking.
