Drawback for using larger sized sand in a tank?

[dsaundry]

I use it and I dont mind it at all. I know what you mean about the sandstorm effect. The one problem I have found with the fine sand is it gets into my impellers and causes premature wear. I guess it depends on what filtration you are using and if you like the appearence of it or not. Too each their own.

DAn if you are going to use any hting the best stuff that I have found was the SEA CHEM select, its .5 -1.0 mm and there isnt any fine sand in it its all very fine pebbles I love it

I switched from sugar sand to Seafloor special grade and I really like it. Its not so fine that my powerheads blow it around, and its not so course that it doesnt still look like sand.

I have Hagen sand in my tank with lots of flow. It's nice and course and the grains are round, unlike Carib-Sea which has flat grains in the larger sizes (at least when I looked it did). It's not quite as white as the Carib-Sea though.
