I'm going to be setting up my DSB soon in my DT. DSB will be layered with "gravel tidy" between layers. My top layer will be about 25 -30 mm before exposing the gravel tidy to prevent fish etc burrowing too deeply or undermining rockwork. Also makes it easy to siphon off a small section of this layer to rinse / clean from time to time.
aragonite, I'm told not only buffers but also leaches elements such as storontium into the water

What are you using as a gravel tidy?
The literature indicates that you can have +5cm of sand above the gravel tidy easily.
Aragonite is apparently better, it is claimed to have some buffering capabilities,
