sand grain size

[TX26257]

I found a sand I want to use and they have a size 3 and 4. The fourth being the the smallest any suggestion.

any one

The smaller the grain the better. Mine is sugar sized and its the perfect size for a deep sand bed.

no one thinks the finer grade 4 will be to fine and blow every where

Once sand is coated with bacteria it settles like a rock. I have 35x turnover with a 5" Southdown DSB and nothing moves.

According to Shimek a particle size between approx. 0.12 and 0.25mm is perfect.

the only problem is the size its sold in is 1,2,3,4 with 4 being the smallest
