I used to have the special grade reef sand, but I now have the bahamas oolite as a <1" sand bed in my new 90. I liked both of them.

well ive always like crushed coral pretty much like rocks i like it cause if a fish disturbed it the stuff doent cloud up the water plus it looks cleaner and get calcium deposits on it witch i really like but i say crushed coral is the way to go

I used Special Reef grade in my first Nano, then when I went to a bigger tank, I decided to try Fiji Pink. It is nice sand, but blows around a bit. I am trying to get more flow with more SPS now, so it is tough to keep settled. In my next tank, I am definitely going back to Special Reef Grade. I am going to keep a SSB 1" or less, and it will make it easy to vacuum to keep it white, and won't blow all over.

One more vote for Carib sea special grade.

+1, very nice fine sand but not as easy as oolite to stir/blow around.
