Hi there, I’m new to this forum! I just recently got into the saltwater hobby and ordered my first aquarium, the Fluval evo 13.5. I’ve been planning to setup the aquarium as a mixed reef aquarium with LPS and softies as well as a couple fish, maybe a pair of clowns! I’ve decided to go with live rock, I understand the potential drawbacks but there are also a lot of benefits to it and I would like to have my aquarium to be as close to a natural reef aquarium as possible! With that being said, I’m stuck on what type of sand to get! I was leaning towards fine sand because I’ve read that it is preferred by CUCs and with the corals I plan on keeping, the flow in my aquarium would not be high and should not distrust the fine sand too much! But I wanted to hear everyone’s opinion and the benefits and drawbacks to fine sand, coarse sand, and crushed coral gravel!

Fine sand will be fine. As long as you know your not going to have crazy flow through the tank.
