sand that does not cloud

[reefmagnet]

Hi, I was wondering if you carry any sand that doesnt cloud. I have southdown sand right now and it clouds consistently. Like with my 10 gal , it has fishes and live rock, when i sift in the sand, you can tell that the sand settles fast, but if i shift the sand all around, it'll cloud the tank.

Thanks

Hi,

Fine sand such as Southdown Playsand will cloud your tank quickly. You can go with larger substate and that will lessen the mess that is made when sand is shifted around. Larger grain sizes will allow you to eliminate the cloud.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

so what size and brand should i be looking for? would this be okay for fishes that dig in the sand?

The CaribSea Seaflor would be a nice choice. It ranges in size from 1mm - 1.7mm. You can find more information on them here:

Caribsea special sea floor grade is great stuff. Both my jawfish just love this stuff. Just enough size to it so they can burrow very easly.
