What is live Sand and how can it be alive? 

Well, the sand itself of course is not alive, but there are organisms they are alive that are around the live sand and within the live sand or on top of the live sand, and most these organisms are beneficial and help to maintain a balanced aquarium. So live sand can be very important in maintaining a healthy reef aquarium, but it does have its drawbacks.

When starting in the marine hobby the first decision to be made is the tank size, the saying here is that bigger is not always better does not hold true, the bigger you can afford the better, beware of so called hidden costs ie. bigger means more lighting, live rock, larger skimmer etc.
