Is aragonite sand needed?

[CleverBs]

I'm putting a sand bed in my 20g tank, it's going to be a mushroom tank with a pair of clowns. I am wondering if I need to get aragonite sand or if I can get away with buying pfs. I would only get the pfs If it made absolutely no difference but if the. Arag is Bette I'll buy that.

Arag sand isn't necessary.

Already bought it Arag sand

It's ok is you did. It'll help keep the pH up.

You can get away using pfs

Aragonite is greatly preferred for a SW tank. I love PFS, but would only use it for FW or Brackish.
