My tank is 4x2x2 that means I have to put coral chip in all 9 trays to have higher ph?
That means is better to buy the sand you have to avoid sand shifter.

Coral chips will push up the pH.

Gravel or coarse sand is bad for sand shifters.

Type of gravel or sand is not too critical if you have no intention to keep sand shifters. However, certain species look better with light color base.

I prefer the Bathybates Looks like they have some room to grow before they reach their max size of 9 inch.
