Help with Substrate Choice

[ChicagoNanoGuy]

So it’s coming down to the last final choices. As far as personal preference I like the look of the very fine white sand but being all that the tanks is all SPS I have a lot of flow and think that fine of a sand will be blown around too much. What do you guys and gals use? I like the very bright white look and don’t like the course tank brown stuff? Let’s hear what you got and why.
Thanks

I went with Carib sea special grade to be safe. Lowest grade I’d probably go without it getting blown around

Carib Sea Special grade won't blow around and no cloudy tank syndrome

I went with "Reef Sand" from CaribSea as it wasn't as fine as some of the other sand being sold. It may not be white enough for you but is definitely looks whiter in the tank than it appears in the bag. Many here like Fiji Pink but in my opinion that was too fine and can get blown around too easily.

Let us know what you decide on and post pictures!

I use CaribSea Fiji Pink, it's basically white with pieces of pink shells in it. As long as you don't have a power head pointing directly at it, it won't blow around.

Special grade all the way
