What sand do YOU use?

[SaltyFlip]

What sand do you personally use and prefer and why'd you choose that sand?
I have a medium grain mixed reef sand, I might switch to fine grain for its supposed nitrate filtering quality (or mix fine with small parts of medium).

How is that caribsea fiji pink sand? how big are the grains? I was thinking about that one. Is it a nice color better than plain white?

0.5 - 1.5 mm grain size combines some of the animal friendly properties of fine sand such as ingestibility and low resistance to burrowing.

Very natural looking color.

Hope this helps

I use, Carib sea special reef grade sand. the grain size is not that small that it will blow around as easily.

I just dumped 10lbs of Caribsea fiji and 20lbs of Nature's Choice Samoa Pink #1 a few days ago. Both feel nice and remind me of what once was a secluded beach.
