Which sand?

Tschupe · 04/07/2011, 06:53 AM

I have a biocube 29. Rio 6h return pump and
A koralia 425.

The sand I'm wanting is the sugar sized. Will it stay
Put with the flow I have or do I need to go with the next
Size up? The .50-1.00

I keep sugar sand in my 28, you do need to keep the returns from blowing down on the sand or it will drift around, but I like the look of sugar sized sand. It comes down to personal choice, outside of esthetics there isn't much of a difference. If either one looks good to you the larger size will not blow around as easily.
