What sand would you recommend

[DLreef]

Well I was going to switch over my 35g to the 32g cube, but then at the last moment I decided to buy new sand instead of the old. I was using a really light sand that would get all stirred up and took forever to settle when ever the pistol shrimp would start digging around so I am thinking something a bit heavier but I want something I can keep Pistol shrimp/Gobies/conches on. What would you guys recommend??

Thinking of going CaribSea Dry Aragonite Special Grade but cant seem to find an answer on if its ok for sand sifters like gobies and conches?

Tropic Eden Reef Flakes

The size (3.0mm) is just right.

So bigger is better? Special grade is 1-2 mm

3 mm doesn't get blown around as easily, and is still suitable for gobies, wrasses and other sand-burrowing critters.

I would like Tropic Eden Reef Flakes but it seems to be hard to get and im hoping to set this up this week. I would also like to do dry sand and seed it with a cup or two of my sand. Don't want to deal with alive. And the only dry sand I can find is CaribSea Dry Aragonite Special Grade Reef Sand

Tropic Eden only available @ Premium Aquatics.

Caribsea makes a natural grade which is 3 - 5mm. Definitely not for sand sifting but I would think perfect for pistol shrimp and a watchman goby?

I got the fiji pink sand it didnt get blown around too much.. but then i dont have mt power heads pointed at the bottom. I actually mixed that with bahamas oolite which is the fine stuff.. but i think it looks good mixed. Looks more natural then all the same sized sand
