Yeah, I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek I should really of added a nice smiley face :D

That's my issue with Hornwort as well, I did have it in my tank a few years ago but its appearance did nothing for me.

I've decided to start an F8+BBG tank next year, and since last I wrote here, I've decided to go a little bigger - up to 200 litres. And I'd really like to try to have more than one F8.

Now I'm checking out aragonite substrates, finding various types by e.g. CaribSea, Nature's Ocean, Red Sea and SeaChem. Which brands and particle sizes would you recommend?

I wouldn't use anything that claims to be"live" sand. Just go with the cheapest.

Yes, I'll go for the "dry" stuff. How about particle size - is it true that "sugar sized" particles will be blown all around the tank? I've seen that mentioned somewhere.
