Sorry, school run. Yes vacummed the sand and got rid of some detritus and yes also the discolourationYou mean you vacuumed the sand bed, or...? And do you mean the discoloration on the sand bed?
Thank s guys, shall I just leave it then? if not adding any pods?Tank looks new, discoloration on the sand appears to be diatoms which appear after a tank has cycled. It feeds off silicates and when gone the diatoms go away on its own. Might be a great time to start establishing a pod population, pods eat diatoms and could help speed up the process.
Lovely thank you. Again, being a newbie, when you say pods... you mean Amphipods and Coppopod things? CAn I buy them?You could do either but now would be a great time to start your pod population and have the added benefit of having your diatoms eaten.
Ya, I was talking about copepods but amphipods are helpful as well and are great fish food. I get my copepods from Dinkins Auquatic gardens and I think I got my amphipods from AlgeBarn ( it was well over a year ago). I add more copepods about every 2-3 months. Don’t forget you’ll need phytoplankton to feed the copepods.Lovely thank you. Again, being a newbie, when you say pods... you mean Amphipods and Coppopod things? CAn I buy them?

Ya both, Dinkin’s sells a combo that is called a snackle box ( I think). Phyto will keep your copepod population fed.Ya, I was talking about copepods but amphipods are helpful as well and are great fish food.

His dry rock is colored purple to look like coralline algae, I believe.Does it wipe off and feel snot like
Doesn't quite look right for that though. Typically with those they are completely purple/red that looks like it has white yet from the original dry rock.His dry rock is colored purple to look like coralline algae, I believe.
