Got Sand?
Hello and thank you in advance
This is my second post and hopefully I don't get hazed again like my first post. My "live sand" keeps getting algae on them, not a lot...... just enough where it bugs me........ the reason being is because every time I go to the LFS their "live sand" is SO CLEAN and every time I look at some of the members pics..... it's SO CLEAN!!!!! My question is, how do you keep it SO CLEAN? I've got the clean-up crew, what else do I need? Sand shifters? Goby? Stars? Thank you and any comments will help, ideas. Happy reefing!!!

How long has your tank been running?
How much flow do you have in the tank? How big of a tank? Sorry you had a problem with your 1st posting My sand goes back & forth..sometimes really clean...sometimes not |

My tank has been running for about4 months now and it is a 72 gallon bow front with 100 lbs. of live rocks. I have a built in over flow with 2 400gpm powerhead facing towards each other. I'm not sure if thats enough i'm thinking of getting another powerhead or at least another stronger one. what do you think?
