which live sand?

[kasha]

Hi,
I'm confused as to which size I need. I'd like something white and fine enough for sand sifters but not to fine to make the bed dense.

Thanks

I use Carib-sea either Ocean Direct or Arag-alive.

the brand there is consensus on but what about the specific grade?

I mixed the 'special' (more)and 'sugar' (less) grades.

i like the special grade mixed with some crushed coral

 

[Euroreefer]

Oolitic mixed with reef substrate from Red sea.

I love mixing sand because it gives you a different look. I have Tahitian white ultra fine sand, Arag Alive Special Grade Reef Sand, Crushed Coral, and a little Bimini Pink

I think it'll depend on what fish you want to keep.

Example: If you have a Jawfish, just to keep him happy I would mix some crushed coral in there.
