Select or other larger sized sand. I hate sandstorms.

+2 but I still think it would be best to run bare bottom...

Is there a way to see who's voting under which category so I can determine who might have a similar tank setup to my own?

I like the look of sand, the owner of my last tank had 1" + Crushed coral in there without any problem but after I dumped some sugarfine in it started getting the stank spots. I think I might try a bag of seafloor grade in this setup before I upgrade to whatever my next setup is.

This tank started out with some sugar fine but with some of the flow i ended up with bare spots. I have sucked out most of the sugar fine leaving a shallow sand area over 1/3 - half the tank and a rubble zone in the other half. ZnP are in the rubble zone and I pull an occasional natural spreading frag out of there.

I tried bare bottom in my frag tank and the bottom cracked.. although i do not believe the crack was related to the bare bottom, there was no rock-slide that i could see i just came downstairs and the tank was cracked.

Is the Caribsea Seaflor sand too large for sand sifting fish?

you could bribe a staff member :razz:

But seriously, no, it's not setup that way.

I used sugar sand and I wish I never did because it blows everywhere. One positive is it made natural rolling sand formations in my tank but there is bare bottom in the front of my tank.

That's what I've always used and I've always kept sand-sifters.
