I know this is probably going to open a can of worms but I figured I might as well see what people thought...
I have always had the plan of going with a
DSB after hearing the benefits of it and now I am trying to buy the substrate for my tank.
For aesthetics, I would like something that is about medium grain size.
I am afraid to go with something that is too fine, because I have heard a lot of people taking out fine sand beds because it becomes so compacted that it eventually becomes problematic.
On the other hand a really grainy substrate doesn't seem like it will work as well for filtration purposes.
At this point I am thinking about going with all Caribsea seafloor reef sand. Or 80% Caribsea seafloor reef sand and 20% Caribsea crushed coral
Any opinions???
