Sand Question

[andwho]

Hey guys, I'm relatively new in the stingray hobby and was wondering if sand changes any of my waters parameters besides the obvious cloudy water. And also if it is safe to add to an already up and running aquatium with rays already in the tank. Of course I was gonna rinse the sand like a mad man before putting it in haha. Thanks guys

Yes some substrates can raise ph and kh. Id suggest carib sea torpedo beach. Its pretty well the best substrate available for rays.

if you want white colored sand, I use pool filter sand.I have kept my rays on it for years with no problems.

unipac sand is very good.
