I asked this in another thread but figured having it in it's own thread might generate some responses.

Please share your experiences. If you've had both, do you think the premium price for the Caribsea is better? Is the Caribsea really easier to keep clean and vacuum?

I searched through threads before and most of the hits were in stingray threads. I remember specifically that the Torpedo Beach was described as not sticking to their Rays and being completely Ray safe

I think I also read that the grain size in Torpedo Beach and I think Sunset gold we're thicker than PFS and play sand and meant it didn't find it's way into filters. (Moonlight Caribsea was said to be too fine).

I'm thinking about getting Torpedo Beach for clown loaches in the future. Anyone use it for loaches?
