Most medium - fine grades would be fine. Just don't go with anything that's very coarse (no frayed coral). I prefer CaribSea as far as bagged sands go. Saltwaterfish.com sells live sand that they collect from the sea floor, that would be an excellent choice.

Yes i know and i did not buy it because of what you guys said i ended up buying a 300 gallon used tank and right now just have life rock and sand in it to get the cycles going and will take everything out and put the correct kind of sand? is it so hard to answer a question in this forum?

Actually - very fine grades(sugar like) of sand are best for keeping benthic sharks. As the bellies of such sharks are quite sensitive.
