What size/brand of sand do you use in your SPS Tank

[jeremy]

Just wondering what sand people use in their SPS tank. I had sand a year or so ago and started having nutrient problems. I siphoned all the sand out over a couple months and have been bare bottom ever since. Well I miss the sand bed so I am gonna add a couple bags just not sure what kind I want.

I had the Fiji Pink before. It was way to fine. Blew all over the place. My tank is a 120 SPS tank. I have 4 MP40S and 2 MP10S. The 10s provide flow under my rocks so detritus don't hang under there.

I am looking for a sand that is harder to blow around and thought about mixing some Crushed Coral in the higher flow areas. After a few months I will add a sand sifter CUC to help stir sand up along with regular siphoning of the sand bed. I will go with shallow sand bed. Probably 1-1.5inch bed.

I forgot to add I will remove both MP10S and I can control each mp40 with my apex to reduce flow on individual pumps to reduce moving sand around .

I think that Caribsea's special grade would be a good choice for your application.
