I have not only read the link, but have had reef tanks with miniflakes, mesoflakes, and reeflakes.Curious - it is the size you want - its extremely uniform - as stated in the link. So - you want what material? Silica sand? I thought you meant you didnt want 'chunks' of different sizes of those things - as compared to a 'sand' not made of those things. Did you actually read the link?
Hi, my posts were asking if someone has come across what I am looking for. I do not wish to debate why I am looking for it, as it will get off-track very quickly as people will argue points irrelevant to the finding of the sand I am looking for.Ha! Awesome. This is going well
edit. Perhaps if you stated Why you want artificial sand it may help people who are trying to help.
Hmm interesting. I think i once added a bit of this to my calcium reactor media, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used as aquarium sand. I was hoping for an aragonite vs calcite, but if this works it may be an option.I am reminded of the once popular dolomite sand, though the grains look very irregular, and I am not sure about the grain size.
I have no experience with this sand, but maybe @Paul B can chime in.
Yes I read your posts. And spent an hour trying to research for your question - to help YOU. If you had perhaps stated the REASON you didn't want natural aragonite - that might have helped. But - you didnt - no problem. I do not believe there is 'man-made' sand that meets your 2 mm requirements. Here is what I found.I have not only read the link, but have had reef tanks with miniflakes, mesoflakes, and reeflakes.

Nice find. Thats a 5gal bucket, so it at least gives a rough idea of size. Good color too, doesn’t seem pure/bright white. Now to find out if something like that is reef safe. It is meant for human drinking water so…probably…https://www.grainger.com/product/49...S:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:4P7A1P:20501231&gclsrc=ds
Particle size not listed but it's not a fine powder.
Good find! Here is another one: https://www.cleanwaterstore.com/neu...MI-OqfhpnN8wIVwmtvBB3sQwo0EAQYASABEgJgdPD_BwEhttps://www.grainger.com/product/49...S:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:4P7A1P:20501231&gclsrc=ds

Everyone on this thread was trying to help, the only drama came from youNice find. Thats a 5gal bucket, so it at least gives a rough idea of size. Good color too, doesn’t seem pure/bright white. Now to find out if something like that is reef safe. It is meant for human drinking water so…probably…
I’ve added the users who just want to argue and create drama to my ignore list. Glad some people actually want to help!
I like option #3 reverse sandbed!I originally deleted this, but your ongoing attitude to people trying to help forces me to repost it. I'd suggest being nicer to folks taking time from their day to help you should be thanked, not dismissed.
1. Saying what you want AND why can help avoid long term disappointment, because folks often are asking the wrong questions or have made incorrect assumptions, and simply answering it doesn't end up being the best solution. That happens all the time here. Folks ask how to do something, but when delving deeper into the why, they end up not wanting to do what they originally asked about.
2. Since you are asking for something that we do not understand the why, we cannot know exactly how close to your original specifications you need to be, and which specifications are most important (size, uniformity of shape? size?, chemical composition, not shells, appearance, etc.)
I like option #3 reverse sandbed!
