Need sand advice for a BB tank!
Quick question what reflects light better from the bottom is it sand or coralline algae on the bottom glass?!
I might add sand... dunno what's best that's clean, white, mp40 friendly....? I also notice that some sands get dirty and don't reflect light to corals that are hidden... Are they the crushed coral kind? I have 2 mp40w in my 156g DT... Tia... pls suggest

Sand would reflect better since it's white (or light) vs a darker Coraline.
You could use a larger grain sand like special grade, but I use fiji pink and my mp40 seems fine with it across a 4ft tank. If I put the 40 on the back it will move sand in the front of the tank on anything over 35% on a 90g. New sand will move more than established sand https://clearchoiceaquatics.com/coll...rade-reef-sand Reef flakes is a good choice too, slightly larger than the caribsea https://premiumaquatics.com/products...sand-30lb.html Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
