What type of sand should I be looking for to put in my refugium? I have heard really fine sand is the way to go. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

That depends on the goals for the refugium. I don't have any sand in mine.

well I was thinking about doing a DSB with algae and rock rubble on the top. What setup are you using?

A living DSB won't really be useful in a refugium, in my opinion. I just have some leftover live rock and macroalgae in mine. Sand will help grow certain kinds of animals. An inch or so might be a fine choice for a refugium.
