What's the best super white, live sand, that's not really fine for my tank? I have really fine sand and it's pretty white and looks good but the power heads keep moving the sand around.

I really like Reeflakes. It comes in 5 different sizes (see below.) I use the 3.5mm, but that may be too coarse for your liking. You can see my sand in the pic below.

Aragavive Deepsea Aragasnow (sugar size, ~0.5mm)
Aragavive Tonga Miniflakes (2.0mm)
Aragavive Tonga Reeflakes (3.5mm)
Aragavive Tonga Reeflakes Grand Select (5.5mm)
Aragavive Tonga RubblyReef (mixed)

 
Will the .5 still blow around from my powerheads?

Yes. I had sugar sand before and that was my issue with it. The 2.0mm stuff probably won't blow around (much), but I got the 3.5mm just to be sure.
