ok so after doing a bunch of research and breaking down my sps coral reef tank i have decided to set up an african cichlid tank. well i have just a few questions.. i have both extra bags of reef sand and crushed coral from previous saltwater fish only and reef tank setups. should i go with crushed coral or reef sand? i know the crushed coral is kind of bad for saltwater because the coral is porous and traps waist which causes high nitrates and phosphates. is it the same with freshwater? what works best for africans. i never used crushed coral or sand in any of my freshwater setups since most of the fish i keep are south american and low ph is required. thanks for reading my paragraph
