Has anyone used ReefRocks.Net's sand?
Do you feel that it is too fine? Will it create sandstorms with high water circulation?

Thanks for knowledge,

I would worry about any sand described as "sugar grain" look at the grain sizes here... the sugar size one is small grain .01 mm

I prefer small grain size 1.0 like the Seaflor Special Grade
Reef Sand

I agree with nano, IMO the smaller the grain the easyier it is to stir up and cloud the tank up. Especially if you have a sand sifter.

Also nano the link you provided isn't working. Giving me a 404 error.

I actually found thier new site, but I spent 10 mins looking for the grain size chart to no avail if you find it post a link was a great chart

Yea, sugar fine is usually a bad idea IMO, because with the flow required for a healthy tank, it will usually be stirred up constantly.

If you do decide to use it, make sure you rinse it VERY well before you put it in your tank, or you will be constantly fighting a sand storm.
