I have this one spot in my tank that has no sand because of my powerhead i've tried moving it around but still seems to still get at the sand.my whole tank looks bad because of that one spot thats bare bottomed and has the sand pushed away.any ideas on how to prevent this?

Had this problem in one of my nanos. I just put a thin, flat rock in that spot.
