i will be moving my tank in a few weeks and when i started the tank i used CC and i want to change over to sand. i have been reading on here about using sand and i am seeing a few posts about the sand clouding the water with sand sifters so i would like to know which size sand grade to go with.

or
Special Grade Sand

the best size sand that I have used is about sugar sized but a mix is good./
as far as seeding you can seed it with any Live sand or even the LR will seed it over time.
