So the more I read, the more confuses me and I can’t remember what kind of live sand I ordered Almost 4 years ago for my current 120.

I need sand for my reefer 350 as the old sand I cleaned has magnetic sand or particles in there. It might ore which pretty common but I just want to make sure there are no metal rust in the sand.

I need sand that is suitable for gobies but not too fine that blows around. Please see attached picture is the sand I want.

can you guy suggest which sand is close to it?

1. Caribsea aragonite seaflor special grade (what is special grade vs regular?)


2. Caribsea ocean direct live sand.

3. Caribsea aragonite (didn’t say if it’s special grade)

I apologize that I have posted a few similar posts but still undecided and some when out of stocks.

thanks

Or if I go through the old sand that I cleaned with a n52 magnet, would it be safe to use?

Caribsea special grade. It's larger granule size than normal and it's a perfect size that doesn't blow around easy, yet is suitable for all sand sifters and burrowers. Love it.
