3M color quarts,, what grade do you like best?

[JoelR]

I'm looking into doing a tank with some 3M color quarts and I'd like to get the opinion of the people who already have it as to which grade to go with. The fine stuff or the larger size?

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That is the finer grade right? It doesn't stir up with current does it?

not much as long as u wash before u set in tank!

Thanks.

I've been searching but haven't had any luck. I'm looking for a post from about 2-3 years ago from one of the big time poly guys and he told what colors he mixed. I know it was black & tan but I don't know what else. Does anyone remember who it was? I know he had incredible pics with tons of big poly's in them.

Thanks.

The finer sand get stirred up A LOT easier..
the thicker grade sinks quicker when stirred up..
not as easily sucked into your filter.. IME

The t-grade just looks kinda weird and can be a little sharp. I prefer s-grade. I've used red and tan so far, but am getting black soon. I've only used black in t-grade.

I'm going to get some plum for my mom's tank, so I'll post pix of it when I get the old stuff switched out...hopefully this weekend.
