Hey y'all!
I have 3 sixteen pound bags of carib seas special grade aragonite. Will this grade be alright for sand sifting stars or jawfish? Curious because ive never used this type before.
Thanks!

It's my current sand. Works great with my gobies and CUC. Had Fiji Pink and it was just too fine and blew around far too easily and got "dirty" really fast. Real pain to pull it out and change to special grade. Really like it.

People love special grade because it's not too fine and not too coarse. It's juust right! :)
I recently ordered 40 lb for a new nano I'm setting up soon. (With likely a lot left over.)
