What type of sand is everyone using?

[JerSaint]

I have only used CaribSea Arag-Alive in the past and I have some more lying around. I was looking at Tropic Eden Reeflakes and I wanted to see if anyone had input on what sub they are using.

I have 4 bags of Tropic Eden waiting for the bedroom build.

I have heard good things. Have you tried TE before, do you think it's worth it?

 

[captc07]

I have heard nothing but good things. I like the size and look of it as well. As for whether or not it is worth it....I hope so. I had to wait a while before it was back in stock.

 

[JerSaint]

Where did you get yours?

 

[Kershaw]

I'm using purple beach sand from a beach in ca. I know this is a controversial method. No issues, looks great wrasses love it.

 

[captc07]

I am pretty sure that Premium Aquatics is the only place in the States that carries it.

Caribsand bimini pink I find it has bigger peices and looks better than fiji pink

 

[Brewman1987]

I'm using the sand from the tbs package straight from the gulf.

Caribsea SeaFlor special grade. I really like it

 

[Jlobes]

TE reefflakes and nothing else. been using it for years!

Tropic Eden for me.

 

[Collinslice]

Carib sea Fiji pink. Dry

 

[Supurderek]

Tropic Eden reef flakes!

 

[Suicideissleep]

Collin you should look into bimini pink its the same sand just bigger purple peices and has some bigger particles in it

 

[Collinslice]

But my bag was free haha. If I had to pick again I'd definitely shop around. In fact I still have 20lbs in the bag

I have marco rocks' sand. Its very.... cloud inducing even after rinsing it. But I love it. When I get fishies I'm sure they will make dust storms too

 

[Mfreddy]

Tropic Eden for me. Make sure to get the reef flakes and not mini flakes. They are very fine

Caribsea aragalive hawaiian black. Besides the magnetic properties i love it.

What sand would work the best if I plan to set up an underwater waterfall?
