I love the look of sugar sized white sand, but if you are keeping SPS coral where you need high flow it just gets blown around too much. Caibsea Seafloor Special Grade works well for high flow systems.

Sand from reefrocks.net
It does have a decent amount of "fine" particles that can blow around though..
