Problem with fine sand is its so easy to stir up if you have any pump near the sand. Friend did this, and we have an mp40 about 40cm from the sand floor and even at half power it blows alot of sand around.

Id go with course sand but thats me.

Um wow thats a long ways to stir up sand! Is it pointed down?

That's why I like to use a coarser sand like Caribsea Select or Special. The Tunze 6055 turned on full blast in my tank will blow it around a bit still, but it doesn't cloud the water at all.
