Which Sand To Use?

[phishyphil]

Which sand would people recommend for use in a SW aquarium?
 
Grain size? Colour? Brand?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Up to you really! Personally... I would use what I know as 'fine coral gravel'. Its just the white stuff one step coarser than sand (stuff you find on beaches) although many shops just call it coral sand.
 
I find the really coarse chunky gravel looks unsightly but that's just my opinion...
 
Personally I wouldn't advise bothering with Livesand, think its just an extortionate rip off. It costs ten times more than coral sand and doesn't do a busting lot! You still have to cycle the tank. So long as you get some nice mature liverock in there, you'll be ok
