Sand/ Substrate for new 125g reef

[Chris Romani]

Looking for the most ideal sand for a 125g planned mixed reef tank and how many lbs. i would like to also eventually add a shrimp goby pair as well so i am not sure the balance of the finer sand for the goby and larger coursed sand for the shrimp to tunnel with. Thanks!

I really like the caribsea special grade sand. There is a chart at the bottom of this page that can help with how much you need. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/aragonite-special-grade-dry-sand-40lbs-caribsea.html

Chris,
Welcome to Reef 2 Reef.

This is the best substrate that I've ever used.
