Sand bed

[bif24701]

I want a 2" sand bed in my new 120g DT. The foot print will be 48x24. I don't want to go with all sugar fine sand as it blows around too easly but I would rather mix it with reef grade sand (NO CRUSH CORAL). What would be a good mix of the two 50/50, 25/75 (sugar/reefgrade), or 75/25 (sugar/reef grade) I don't want to go with all course sand because I want to allow for burrowing things to live in it well, plus I like the look. Is there a bag of sand that already has a good mix??? I figue Ill need 120 pounds of the stuff.

so i have 60 lbs in my 55 gal.... its a solid 3 - 4 inch deep. i went 2 bags of finer to 1 bag of the next grain size. dont get a whole lot of movement.

honestly did it by accident as i had no idea what i was buying.

so maybe go with 4 to 2 ratio
