Substrate suggestions

Hey all, haven’t been on the forums in quite a few years and I’m sure there are tons of new options out there from equipment to substrates. So I’m currently looking to start a new 50 gallon and the last time I bought substrate I used the PA Reeflakes. I really liked this but now I can’t find it in stock.

Can anyone suggest a substrate I can find that is similar?

Spend time to get the substrate that best fits your future tank inhabitants(wrasses that burrow at night?, sand sifting creatures? )and your own planned conditions(low flow vs med flow vs high flow) consider and plan as best u can based on which direction u plan to take your tank and its inhabitants
