    All the oolite sand I see for sale starts at 0.5-1.5 I have this in my tank already: CaribSea® Aragonite Aragamax Oolite and would like to add more since it looks pretty fine grained to me but haven't made a dsb before so any input would be really helpful (am planning on burying some of my red coral and filling it in with sand then putting my live rock on top of it all.) Thanks

    That's my preference for DSB sand.

    Yeah, it seems ok but it's 0.5mm and up while they say under 0.2mm so I wonder what could be finer grained (except mud of course.)
