Good Afternoon fellow reef keepers!
We currently have a 40g breeder that has been battling Ostreopsis Dinos for about 5 weeks. We have finally, FINALLY beat them back about 85% of the way.....not without loss however.
Before the great Dino battle of 2022, we already needed to add more sand and more rock to our setup. Our tank was built about 5.5 years ago, using TBS's "the Package". With the intrusion of the dinos and the die off that happened, I fear a lot of the life that was in the sand has died back a bit, plus in "vacuuming the sand" to manually remove dinos, we lost actual sand. So, now that the dinos are somewhat at bay, we think it is time to infuse the tank with some additional life to help bring balance to the force if you will.
Any tips / thoughts for adding sand? We plan to QT the rock for a few days to eliminate any dangers to our Maxima clam.
Would love to hear thoughts/ suggestions from the forum.
Happy Reef Keeping!
