Is this sand Marimo Ball safe? How much would I need for a 1 - 1.1 gallon tank?

Yes it is safe, rule usually is 1 pound per gallon of water. So, you need 1lbs.

It all depends on what you have in your tank and how much flow you would like or need I have two of these on either side of my tank and it's a 26g nano softie/lps reef tank. If you have a fish only or a freshwater tank and just looking to had some circulation in the tank than this should be fine although if this is the only pump your adding I would suggest the next higher model up I believe it's around 420 gph? Hope this answers your question

It is super safe - and also works fantastic - I have a amazonian aquarium discus fish, angelfish and neon and are perfect, plus the PH has not significantly altered. SALUDOS DESDE COLOMBIA

I don't think a one time dose such as that would hurt the plant BUT you would be wasting your supply. I use a tablespoon per gallon on plants once a month. It has been an an amazing transformation. I have a lot of tropical plants and they have responded with much increased growth in foilage and strong healthy roots. I use my regular fertilizer at half the recommended rate along with the seaweed at 1 Tablespoon per gallon. Don't use it every time you water or when the plant is resting. Plants need to rest.

We used 12 5-Gallon buckets and there was still plenty of room. I think in the description or one of the reviews it recommends a certain amount of sand.

I believe that zeosand is much finer that regular pool sand, therefore only half as much is needed. By the way...........this product worked great for me. There are some bad reviews about this product on Amazon. Just be sure to back wash zeosand several times before you start to filter.....................Thanks..........FG

Its a fairly large bad. I would say it would easily fill a 1 gallon container, probably more.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that your bowl is already very overstocked. Goldfish actually grow very large and can live up to 30 years! They also create a lot of waste, so anything 2 1/2 gallons large is just not going to cut it. If it is a fancy goldfish, it will need around 30-40 gallons just on its own, and if it's a common goldfish (has a single-finned tail), it will probably be better suited for a fish pond. That being said, I think that cherry shrimp by themselves would do alright in a 2 1/2 gallon container if you do regular 20-30% water changes. But I don't suggest anything else with the goldfish.

You would need a stronger lite for a tank that size of you wish to have corals . Fish only might be ok

This depends on what is planted and what is under it. I have a tank with ADA Aqua Soil under this, and one with Seachem Fluorite under it. The sand is great where I have carpeting plants, as their roots can get a good grip. However, if you have fish that root around, they spread it everywhere and it quickly disappears into the soil. It is very pretty, though...just doesn't hold up to the fish. I never suck up the bottom of my tanks, so this isn't an issue for me, but if you do, it will be sucked right up into the siphon and deposited wherever it wants. :) Also, your filter makes a difference. In my 55 I have an Eheim canister that will blow this around if I'm not careful. ;) Lots to think about. This depends on what is planted and what is under it.

I have a 29 gallon and am barely getting by. Soft coral only, Some LPS,no Acans or SPS. I'm selling mine on eBay next week.Customer service is spotty at best.

A 50lbs is just the right amount. Make sure to use pool sand, available at most hardware stores or pool supplies, usually less than $10.

Follow up post regarding the marimo kit......marimo may not be able to live in brackish water like the shrimp?
1192685
It depends on the salinity, but yes. Saltwater and saltwater organisms are contained in this bag. It may be better to not introduce those organisms and salt water to a brackish tank, but would be diluted and most if not all organisms would likely die (making it non-live sand) with change in pH, temperature, salinity and alkalinity. It is likely you can find a non-live version of a similar looking sand for cheaper.

In my opinion, a 10 g wouldn't require this sort of thing unless you'd like to create a population of copepods or to raise macroalgae to help reduce nitrates/phosphates. It doesn't provide much "flow", whatsoever. It merely drips into your display tank.

My tank is 2 gal plastic Which it is safe in.I dont remember for sure but am fairly certain that it calls for use in a minimum of a 2 gal tank.

i would start with about 6 bags i think mine has too much salt . my pool has a 7800 gallon capacity. i spread the salt around and then used my pool brush to help the salt dissolve. started my pump and have had no problems..
