Tropic Eden Reef Flakes?

[pbjelly]

I got a hold of a sample of Reef Flakes and love how they look.

Other than the annoyance of only being able to order them from one place, is there anything I should be aware of if I use them in my tank?

Any kinds of fish or inverts that I can't keep? I know some kinds of bottom dwelling fish need specific sizes/textures of sand and don't want to use sand that's pretty but useless...

I have reef flakes for my new 200 gallon tank. By far the best sand I ever had hands down.

 

[Stackbundles]

yes bottom dwelling fish are fine. I asked them about that.

Glad to hear you like them.

Did you use straight reef flakes? I know some people mix them up with the Mini Flakes or the Grand Select.

I use reef flakes also. I have 90 lbs in my 120 gallon. Goby and shrimp builds their burrow, wrasses sleep under it. What type of live stock are you planning to carry that would make you worry?

I'd like to add a goby or a blennie. Not planning on anything out of the ordinary, but since I don't know anyone personally using the sand, I thought I'd check around first to make sure.
