[AlexS95]

I have the fine sand from marcorocks and I really like the look of it, but it does blow around a lot.

i just got caribsea special grade flor i love it. I hate the cloudyness tho be sure to rinse it with a hose. ro water would take over 300 gallons with 100 lbs of sand to remove cloudyness IME

IMO.....I think the best look is a combo for 2-3 different grain sizes....if you are looking to get the natural look....I have even thrown in small pieces of rubble to get a more natural look.......I think it boils down to personal preference though.

Again JMO

Ihave decided on fine sand.

Is this sand white?.....kinda looks tan brown in pic that's why.

How do I rinse this fine sand without being washed away?

Thanks....

While I haven't used that, it says "White in color" in the description so I would assume it's white.

Has anyone mentioned that really fine sand like that will blow all over the place? (kidding!)

Yeah but when the seaflor special grade arrived, it was too coarse.

I think I need bit bigger than sugar size....so that it is heavy enough but without coarse look. Can anyone suggest that size/brand!?

Thx much.. .i suck at this sand thing.

It's really a matter of personal preference of what you like. You can see the different types that CaribSea has here: http://www.caribsea.com/pages/products/dry_aragonite.html

Or, go to your local fish store or big box pet store and look at them in person through the bag.

I have the Special Grade Reef and really like it, but that's my personal preference. Look and find the one you like best and go with it.

If I add this to an existing reef tank will this cause a cycle since its alive?

How to add this to an existing running reef tank?
Thanks
