I used the the Aragonite sugar-sized sand as well and wouldn't use it again either. It get's stirred up too easily by fish, powerheads, etc. I will go coarser next time.

I find it kind of a nuisance to clean too. You always suck some out with the detritus. I supposed I could filter it out of the used water, clean it and put it back in my tank but that would probably make a mess too.
