Hello, I currently have a 90 gallon full reef with fine sand (I regret it with the sand storms). I recently purchased a used 120 and I am buying things to upgrade the tank. The new tank is going in the same place as the current tank so I am looking for live tropic Eden reef flakes. Unfortunately I can't find them anywhere but premium aquatics which they are sold out. Does anyone know of any alternative brands which are similar to reef flakes? I need it to be live because it's going to be a same day transfer. I did this when I upgraded to my 90 from my old 55 with zero loss. Thanks in advance
 
I wouldn't use the live stuff for a same day transfer even if it was available. If you are taking all your old live rock, I would buy the dry put a 1" bed down and then make your transfer. dry reeflakes is a very clean sand.
 
Just save yourself some money and get dry. I've done a same day before with dry sand no problems. As long as using a good amount of live rock will be no issues. And could always scoop up a cup of your old sand to seed the new sand
 
Use it in mine and it's great. XF 150 and 130 turned up to 90% , mp10 and the return and nothing moves
