Help me pick a substrate for the 150g :)

So I get the tank on Friday but it's gonna be SO late that we won't get it out of the van until Saturday. So I need to pick out a substrate. I used live sand from Petsmart last time. It is ok but I really want something w/ a little courser grain so that when my jawfish spits sand its a little heaver and settles faster. What kind and brand have people used I would love a picture because it's worth 1000 words when it all comes down to it this hobby is about looks.

Thanks!

I love the pink aragonite in my tank. It's the next size up from sand. Just perfect for those fish that like tunneling.

See what I like about it is it has a courser more uninformed grain. I might use a mix to get some bigger chunks in there for Jolly (the jawfish) Other wise he unglued rics or fan worms or what ever it close.
