I have a new 240. Do you have any recommendations for sand? What is the best and where to buy it from?

Seaflor Special Grade is what I've used to replace the Southdown I've used in the past. It's whiter than the pic and heavier so it doesn't blow around. It's an alternative between sugar sand and crushed coral substrate.

Thanks for the suggestion. How many pounds do you think I will need? I only need about 1.5 inches thick ya?
