I think aragonite sand is still considered the “normal” substrate. Crushed coral is still used.

I like the CaribSea "special grade" aragonite. Kinda somewhere in the middle of fine and coarse.
PetSmart online used to have sales on it at $19.99 for 40 lbs pretty often,,, but looks like not right now ($26.99).

Live sand or live aragonite
