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.

Select or other larger sized sand. I hate sandstorms.

Crushed Coral
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.
