Live sand cost lots of $$$$ If you got it to spend a bag with the balance of the regular sand helps. I use chaeto in my fuge. I like a lot. Its all i have ever used so I cant comment on the other types.

regular sand as any sand? what is better fine or coarse

I use the fine sand, I also have some cerithsnails in the sand to help keep it clean. Macro algea is Chaeto, I use Chaeto as many others do since it is easy to care for.

Its called oolitic sand. Aragonite
