Recommendation for reef sand. Looking at Tropic Eden.

[Isaac Alves]

Want to buy some good sand and I'm thinking of buying a mix of Tropic Eden Reeflakes and Minifkakes.

Seems to be carried by @premiumqaquatics.

Most sand seems just like any other sand... until you experience Tropic Eden! This stuff is amazing! Virtually dust free, no rinsing necessary. It's beautiful, super consistent sand.

thanks @Broadfield

@Broadfield Which Tropic Eden did you get? i was going to do a mix.

I have the Miniflakes in mine. Here's a good image that shows the sand's consistency next to one of my large Lobos:

@Broadfield Looks really nice. Do you get any issues with sand being blown around?

Once the sand matures a bit, like several months, then it's not bad at all. I run a decent amount of flow though.
