Trying to decide if I want to use it in a reef tank. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If it is Coral Gravel help with your PH

It's either this or live sand I'm undecided.

 

[Mr tap water]

If it's either one of those then I can't see a problem using it

might be a little large for a reef tank people usually stay away from crushed coral since its very hard to keep clean and builds up detritus. Also if you plan on keeping any wrasses that burry in the sand they will scratch themselves on the crushed coral.

So if I were to go with live sand what brand,granular size,and bed depth do you recomended ?
