Good evening everyone, and I wish you enjoyable hobbies. I wanted to ask a simple question, but it would be better if only those who have used it could comment. I want to set up a 150*150*45 (cm) reef aquarium. The video that I attached shows some sand. Yes, I know it will be dusty I really liked its design and aesthetics. If anyone has used it before or is still using it, could they please specify the brand and type exactly? Thank you in advance for your answers.

kind of hard to identify sand by a video but it seems like it can be replicated by mixing a fine grain Bahamas oolite sand and a larger grain sand like caribsea aragonite
 
It's definitely a mixture of sizes (which is great for jawfish) and both appear to be calcium carbonate. I've achieved a similar look by using aragonite gravel (whether Caribsea live sand or crushed coral) and for the fine stuff I used this:

My jawfish was very happy with this mixture, as am I. I used more sugar sand than gravel. I highly recommend washing the sugar sand really well. It comes dry and it's pretty dusty.
