I've used that before. I'd say it collected just as much detritus as any other sand (IMO). Detritus is detritus and it falls where it may. I didn't have sugar sand available to me at the time. The coarser sand still looked nice (although not as blinding white as the sugar sand, which never stayed white for me anyways but I digress). But, yeah if you have a messy fish it will definitely be of a problem.

reef sand
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.

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.
