I like the indo-black Pacific in the 30 gallon hex.
I don't like the crushed coral in my 100 gallon FOWLR but it was in there when I acquired it and so I let it be. |

My bed isn't deep enough, grains are too big and I don't know if I like white, pink or black sand.

Here is the 30 gallon, close up of the sand with a conch and a full tank shot, its nice contrast and is constantly moving with a single goby and single conch , the sand seems to settle on its own, not like the coral sand in the 100g.  
I'll try and get some better pics up to show what I'm talking about, I don't know if it's good to be that loose or not but the burrowers like it and the damsels make caves under the liverock as they feel. | |
