Best sand

[MikeyAl]

Had to dismantle my tank due to home construction. I am outing back together and want to create a deep sand bed. What is best sand to start with? Keep in mind that I have mixed reef tank and lots of rock. I’ve heard Tampa Bay saltwater is good, but concerned about unwanted critters.
Thanks for the help

I would say that is a good choice, I read more have critters with the rock then the sand. I personally went with the Hawan black coarse sand and really like the look. The only downside is that the Hawan sand does have a higher iron content and some grains will stick to the magnetic glass cleaners, but knowing this I am careful when cleaning the glass
