Can you guys explain to Chris why the deeper the substrate the better? And
why 50% crushed coral is better than a mix of LS and dry aragonite
substrate? IMO, it is important for people asking these types to know some
details, specifically what you consider the benefits of the deep sand beds
to be, how they work and why.
