Hey folks,
I'm looking for suggestions on substrate for my new 150.
Right now I have Caribsea SeaFlor Special Grade Reef Sand which is a bit coarse, but more over it has significant clumping problems. I have massive sections that are absolutely SOLID and I want to avoid that in the upgrade.
In the past, I have tried MarcoRocks fine sand in the past and while GORGEOUS, it is powder fine and was too fine. It blew everywhere no matter what I did, so I scrapped that.
He now has a coarse grade of sand which I'd love to see, but after 4 emails, 1 voicemail and a hit on facebook I'm convinced that he doesn't want my money which is VERY frustrating.
What I would like is a light colored (black is out for me, just not a fan), FINE grade sand, but not powder fine.
Does anyone have a recommendation?
I'm not interested in any used substrate thanks.
I need about 1.25 cu-ft (1.5 would be fine) to lay down a 1.5" layer in my 150. By calculation, 2 5 gallon pails would more than suffice as well. Weight wise, I have no idea.
Thanks for your time/recommendations.
