Live sand is a gimmick there just charging for the water lol... Get regular dry sand... I personally prefer Carib sea special grade sea floor it is the perfect size and doesn't blow around when you have a ton of flow...

im switching a tank from carbsea seafloor special blend to tropic eden agrasnow.
seafloor traps way too much, but its not bad if you wanna siphon it like gravel.

I will be adding a SSB in my tank soon. I will give Tropic Eden a try. I hear great things about it.

Just get a cup of sand from someone in your area with an established tank. All the live sand you need. Just pour it on top of your new sand.
