Is the brown funky stuff all over the sandbed or just in spots?
The cukes might take care of some sandbed funkies, but the nassarius won't eat that stuff. Neither will the lawnmower blenny. Builup of algae on the sandbed is usually related to overfeeding, inadequate water circulation, or less-than-pure water. Do any of those apply to you? |
