I did a mix of Fiji pink and Bimini on this tank. And I hate the large chunks that are in the Bimini. They all rise to the top, and look like poop once coralline starts growing. It never looks clean. I'm actually planning on pulling it out and putting new sand in. That's how much I hate it.

How about the Fiji pink? Did you like that? Truth be told, I just want a hint of pink the sand ... lol
 
I want as fine of sand as I can go. Probably with medium flow. Going to be buying for a new tank. Actually I forgot what I purchased 7 months ago for my nano.. :/

Any suggestions?
 
I went with Tropic Eden Tonga Miniflakes. LOVE IT! It's amazing. I am still waiting for snow / fine size from Tropic Eden
