I'm finally getting a bigger tank. Upgrading from a 50g to a 80g with a 20G sump :) I'm currently using crushed coral and want to switch to sand with smaller grains and just a 1" substrate.

Will switching lead to a cycle ?

And is this a good choice ?
"Carib Sea Aragamax Oolitic
0.5-1.02 mm grain size. A Breakthrough! This uniformly graded oolitic aragonite not only provides nitrate reduction in shallower beds but also has an increase in pore water space which allows maximum diffusion rates of minerals and trace elements. The only oolite product suitable for plenum systems."

Even with the smaller grain size I would still have a deeper bed. Just my opinion. :)
