I'm really wishing I would have gone with a finer sand. Not all the way to oolite, but closer to sugar than rock.

Thank you! Finally starting to feel like a reef tank. Guess its official with some corals.Looking beautiful with everything added in! I personally think the sand looks pretty nice - why are you now thinking something finer would be better?

The original though was in line with the hyped super 100x blow the walls down flow. To have that and sand you need the course 5mm grain sizes.
I'm doing mixed reef (LPS/SPS) so I naturally need higher flow at the top for the sticks, and lower flow at the bottom for the flowies.
What's happening is the super course sand is acting more like rock than sand.
I actually want the sand to move. The 4 MP40's I have are all on independent reef crest mode, so a constant mound at one place shouldn't ever be an issue.
So I guess the point I'm hypothesizing is that the smaller grain sizes would look cleaner with the ebbs and flows of the currents.
Maybe there's opportunity for vortech here too... instead of completely randomized... a programmed flow pattern to move finer sand from a point, to a point, and back. Talk about next gen, closer to natural reefing!
No, thank you for participating in our live sale!! Enjoy your new lights
Happy to hear I could inspire you , and thank you very much for the kind remarks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.This is insane!! I’ve been debating not going through with a tank in the wall (once we get our new house) after struggling with my smaller tanks lately and this has completely given me hope again. Congrats to you both for your baby girl and an amazing tank!
