sand types

[Cheech]

I'm stuck between these three.

Setup will be a 1" sandbed in the main tank, 4" in the fuge.

I'm undecided between the reg. aragamax, the aragamax select, or the Grand Bahamas Biome.



Any experiences ? I know the differences are very slim, but I'd rather avoid making the 17 million mistakes I made when I setup my first reef tank ./ lol

Do you plan on stocking any livestock that will be burrowing or sand sifting? If burrowing your going to want some structure so the burrow doesn't collapse. If sand sifting you really can't do a 2.0 because it could hurt him. I have sugar sized in mine with some of the 1.5 size mixed in so it isn't so fine for my golden headed sleeper goby. If not I personally think any of those will be fine I just personally don't like going as large as the 2.0 micron because it seems like you get to much 2.0 and not enough of the .5 or 1.0 so you have detrius sinking into your substrate.

Pretty sewn up by Clown-Lower, would say the same things myself, its all down to what stock your going to be having in the tank...

I ended up going with the aragamax select. Thank you for your advice.
