    Anyone have suggestions (brand names/type) on sand for a 90 gallon tank mixed reef?

    I would like something that won't get blown around alot by power heads.
    Will be a good grain size for diamond goby to sift through.
    and not brownish more white.

    How deep shold the sand be? and how many pounds will i need?


    thanks!

    I used 4 bags of this in Fiji pink for my 90.(its not really pink) Unfortunately you will not be able to find something that doesn't blow around easily and still keep a sifter happy. As long as you aim your powerheads correctly and don't over do it you should be fine.:) 4 bags gave me approx. 2 1/2 inch sand bed.
