Correct, the coarser sand should always go on top to prevent sandstorm. Mixing the sand would be a waste of effort as well as overtime, the fine sand will sink down and the coarse sand will move up, forming 2 distinct layers.

Agreed, just a gentle reminder, do start your own thread and not hijack someone else's thread.

godzillaliu88: Do readup the thread posted by ace bowlerz, it will help guide you along and covers the more basic part of marine fishkeeping. Its not possible for us to spoonfeed everything as there's simply too many techniques and information for us to be able to cover.
