Sand

So I've been running my tank with a bare bottom recently, but since I'm moving the location of the tank and re-scaping it i figured now was as good as ever to add sand. I've read good things about the Fiji pink? Is that good sand? and if so wheres the cheapest place to get it? Also when I get back from vacation next week and redo my sump with a large refugium, Is there a better option for sand in here? I had read to put finer sand in the fuge since its lower flow. Has anyone had and success with this?

We use Fiji pink and love it. Great size, not too light that is creates sand storms but not too heavy like crushed coral that traps gunk. Easy to clean and great for sand burrowing critters. I would look around online for it or at your local fish store because you won't have to pay for shipping.
 
Drs Foster and Smith might be the cheapest because with a couple bags you will be above the free shipping minimum.
I have not priced it in a while but I remember it made sense to get free shipping vs cheapest price.
