Default I need advice for deep sand bed

Hi guys,

Me again, I will be setting up my first reef tank on the week with a 5 inch deep sand bed..I bought southdown sand from HD...It is very fine. SHOULD I mix coarser sand with my southdown...I read on this board that sounthdown is so fine that snails can barely stay up and that the current generated by the power head keep the sand moving and as such keep the water clowdy....What are your opinions on this and suggestion????

I want to set up the sand bed tonight, as my 100 pds of live rock (semi-cured from J&L) are arriving saturday morning...I hope that the sand will have settled by then...

Thank you
Marco.
