I've read negative reviews of my Moonsand but I've had it in there for 6 months with no issues. It's just like with anything, one person loves it, the other hates it, you should be fine. You just have to be a tad more careful when cleaning and doing a vac as not to stir up a sand storm. It's a lot easier to siphon out uneaten food and waste because it always settles on top of the sand.

Also I would just keep the intake of your HOB filter farther away from the sand surface. Mine is about 4" from it and has been fine.

If you do buy from Petsmart.com make sure to search this link for some coupons, even the expired ones work sometimes:

call more places... i think the t grade is more coarse and larger..

personally i like the smaller spherical shape of the s grade
 
well based on the website there were only 4 venders in within an hour driving distance. 3 dont pick up their phone. lol.
