According to Dr. Shimek (
Deep Sand Beds ) Deep Sand Beds should be composed of very fine grain to be best for the creatures living in it. He gives an average of 0.125mm. I think smaller than what most folk actually use. I have seen a few posts of people sayng that when using the extremely fine grain it just gets blown around alot. I figure it might just take more time to settle out.
I am looking at a sand that advertises grain size between 0.1mm and 1mm which would be close to the target range he is advocating. Though I don't know what the ratio is.
Anyway I was curious what anyone's experience with fine grain sand has been. Does it get blown around alot? Does it settle down after a period? How long does that take? And most importantly how does it seem to support the life it is supposed to?
Thank you
