Help choosing sandbed for innovative marine lagoon 25

[Joeganja]

So this will be a strong flow sps dominate tank and it's a shallow tank so I want to get gravel more for looks then helping it with biological. Anyone recommend any gravel that won't be coral crushed size but also small enough that it won't be blown from the flow? Planning to have it just one inch deep.

I am a fan of Tropic Eden's Reef Flakes. Stays in place pretty good as far as sand is concerned. If you are going really heavy flow bare bottom might be a thought , although I never liked the look of it personally. Some reefers use starboard as their bottom , it gives the look of a sand bed and the benefits of a bare bottom .

+1 to reef flakes. Looks great in the tank and good with heavy flow.
