Sugar Sand, Aragamax Select, Or Larger?

I hope this isn't hijacking but it's an awesome question. I'm running 1-2 mm Caribsea seaflor sand as well, but I noticed last time I was in J&L that it comes in the smaller .5 - 1mm. I liked the look of it, and I'm wondering before I set up my 210 if the 1-2mm is too corse for my Yellow watchman and twin spot gobies.
For those of you running it, do you know specific size grain's your Caribsea sand is?

I use Aragamax Select, about an inch or so deep in a 75g with 2 MP10s on 75%, and no sand storms
I chose it so we could have sand sifters

I have sugar sand in one of my tanks. Worst mistake ever!! When my sand sifters do their job, blows around covering any corals close to bottom of tank. Just my 2cents

I used sugar sand and I'm SORRY. Sugar sand + one pair of clowns (that lift the sand)+ powerful powerheads = lots of sandstorms.

I had/have 2-3" of sugar sand in my tanks....wouldn't have anything else

Select or other larger sized sand. I hate sandstorms.

I had to cover my medium grade sand with crushed coral to keep the sand staying on the bottom of the tank.

Am still using sugar size sand in my high flow SPS system. The system is 110 galling long tank w/6 power head 4 evo 4 koralia + 2 tunze 6045 modified + 2 clown fish + 2 wrasse. Does it work yes! Would I do use sugar size sand again no. I used it because I like the look!*
I do get the occasional controlled sand storm, but it never seem to bother the SPS, I always have full polyp extension even with the sand storm.
