    I really like the Carib Sea Special Grade Reef Sand.

    It is the right size for me that it doesnt get blown around, yet still looks like nice sand.

    I use tropical eden sand from premium aquatics. Specifically the mini flakes. It's all the same size 2mm and i like the looks plus it's relatively cheap at 30 lbs for 40 bucks
