Sand for Refugium (Cant find Southdown)

idrum · 07-27-2001, 07:42 AM

OK - So I 'm putting my refugium together this weekend. Will put in some live rock, a bunch of feather and grape caulerpa I have and add the refugium kit from Inland.

What sand should I use? I want to encourage pod growth for feeding. Not sure I want to spend $50 on Miracle Mud and I cant find Southdown - I want to use the sugar sized. Is there a specific brand of sand I should buy i.e. CaribSea Aragomax, etc.

Thanks

Hi,
you can use any type of sand you want.

Just make sure the particle size is correct.

This should make things clear
