Much better to use sand. Crushed coral traps more detritus and has less surface area for bacteria.

Soon here I'll be doing ~4 inch DSB followed, with probably a couple of inches of crushed coral on top. I'm sure others will tell you not to use crushed coral because it's a detritus trap. I say it's a podhouse, and I laugh in the face of detritus ahahahahahaha.....
