Can You Use Live Sand In Brackish Tanks?

[connorsbala]

Can you use live argonite sand in brackish tanks,if you rinse it to get rid of the marine bacteria? Ive got some left over from when i was setting up my marine tank...its this one http/www.paraquatics.co.uk/en-gb/dept_145.html

Thanks

BTW,when you do water changes do you gravel vac your sand or syphon water out?

Sure can re-use it after its nice and washed. I'd reccomend a little sun bleach too just to be safe . And when I do water changes I use a very small hose on a gravel vac to clean out the gunk in my sand bed
