Hi Benae! I was so sorry to hear that your crabtank broke! I've had that happen to me before. It started as a crack and soon became a throw-out job. I'm glad ...

... Petsmart/Petco won't carry the 'good' CaribSea stuff, only the very coarse stuff as you found, and perhaps bags of "AragAlive" so- called 'live' sand for...
Also, just so you know another route that it is available, the 'Calci- Sand' and 'Repti-Sand' products are aragonite as well.... calcium carbonate = aragonite...

As far as I understand the reptibark is not a good substrate in general because they cannot bury if they want to. Also, out of Marie's 200 some molts, all but...
