OK, So I am treating the Introductions section as being the opposite of 'Advanced Reef Talk'... Noob question. I bought my saltwater setup as a complete package off craigslist last year. Wishing some things were different, like a sump/fuge versus wet/dry. Anyways, I am trying to get a handle on why the tank is not acting quite the way I wanted/expected it too.
Every place I see the words crushed coral, it says to ditch it. So... exactly how does one distinguish CC from sand. I have been googling photos but there are different sizes and grades of each. My substrate is mostly white, I would say there is a decent amount of very little shells or pieces of shells.
Any pointers would be great, though I am hoping I have the good stuff.
