I’ve got a 200 gallon peninsula build I’m planning to transfer my existing Reefer 350 into. The BRS videos sold me on Caribsea Ocean Direct sand as I wasn’t a super fan of my current sand and I liked the idea of hopefully bringing in the bacteria from the direct ocean sand. Unfortunately, the sand is much finer than I expected. I really like how it looks but I am continuing to have blowing sand and bare spots.
I’m using 4 MP40s for flow and have tried gyre, reefcrest, and a few modes. I have also repositioned them, used antisync and decreased the flow.
When I add all my rocks from my existing reef, I expect it will change the flow and may help but I doubt that’ll be enough.
I’m coming to accept that I may need to change all the sand out. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
-Should I just bite the bullet and change sand before I add my existing rock?
-Any ideas on how I can make the Caribsea Ocean Direct sand work?
-Would it be feasible to take half out and mix with Caribsea special grade or should I just change everything?
