The whitest sand for Reef tank

I'm looking for the whitest sand for a coral tank. Something that will withstand two power fans and is heavy enough to stay in place.

The whitest I can think of is if you get broken up coral but hopefully someone else will chime in and give more info

Which will NOT stay white, so better to go with real sand.

I use Tropic Eden Reef Flakes, I find that it is whiter than most.

Go bare-bottom and paint the underside of the tank white.

Tropic Eden Reef Flakes. Fiji Pink it you have lower flow, blows around too much otherwise. It will all get darker over time though.
