I wouldnt go so small. When I used it it was nothing but problems. The claims are that it can allow for a DSB with only an inch or two of depth. This is false, as any critter like a hermit that passes over it stirs it up easily, disrupting any possiblity of a DSB. The density of it is about the same as mulm, so detritus gets mixed in and is impossible to seperate w/o removing everything. It gets blown around easily, and when it doesnt get constantly stirred, it develops pockets of mold and sulphur deposits because it packs too fine to allow it to breath.

I stick with 2-5mm aragonite sand. Its the best IMO.
