150 someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think a strawberry conch would be okay in a 20 (only gets 3 inch max) might have to feed it eventually.How big is your tank? I want a conch but my tanks only a 20g long

I'll definitley look into that150 someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think a strawberry conch would be okay in a 20 (only gets 3 inch max) might have to feed it eventually.
Yes. It’s the cost of having it. Otherwise it’s a nutrient sink. Doubt the chronology cleans your entire sand bed.I got a pistol shrimp last week and he’s done a fantastic job of moving all my sand. The loose stuff gets kicked around and filtered. Sand bed looks great.
They were wrong. Mayb Ed if you have a dep sand bed. But that just means it holds more trash.Maybe because bacteria in sand bed eating detritus and after this detritus is not more problem?
Yea I know people refer to sandbeds as "nutrient sponges"They were wrong. Mayb Ed if you have a dep sand bed. But that just means it holds more trash.
I think a lot of that is people echoing what they heard from BRS... it may be worth noting that BRS has changed their tune recently.Yea I know people refer to sandbeds as "nutrient sponges"
I have one in my evo 13.5 and it’s great no issues. Go and get you one you won’t regret it.150 someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think a strawberry conch would be okay in a 20 (only gets 3 inch max) might have to feed it eventually.
When I siphon the pods swim down back into the sand the flows not strong enough to suck them up. That's for amphipods at leastIve also been wondering this. Currently have a sump-less 75gal "learning tank" before i dive into something larger. Curious how it would affect the pod population, amongst other things...
The cost of having it isn’t that big a cost for me. I don’t mind blowing the rocks of sand daily. my tank is a nano 13.5 and I haven’t seen my sand this white since I started my tank so I think it’s safe to assume that the pistol played a big role as he’s constantly pushing and pulling sand.Yes.

I’m jelly. What a gorgeous tank.Sleeper goby.
Toxins build up in the sandbed and are released when you vacuum thats why you only do small sections at a time over days or weeks or in that guy's case a year... You do not want those toxins being released into your water column....remember STABILITY is the key to a reef and when you vacuum the sandbed it THREATENS STABILITY so you do it very slowly and over days or weeks ...dont be a rockstar and see how fast you can clean your sandbed or you could be very, very sorry....there is more that could go wrong then the right.....just my two cents and opinions may vary thasok.Also do you think me vacuuming it every week will cause a problem in the tank?
I sincerely don't mean to be antagonistic, but I have heard this explanation countless times over the years. Literally hundreds of times. And yet, still, I have not seen one example of this anoxic bacteria actually crashing a tank. I'm definitely not saying it can't happen, just that I've seen a ton of people saying they vacuumed their sandbed after long periods without doing so with no issue, and not one example of someone doing so with disastrous results. I would love to see an example of it crashing a tank, just for my own edification (though, I'd be sad for the reef).Toxins build up in the sandbed and are released when you vacuum thats why you only do small sections at a time over days or weeks or in that guy's case a year...

No problems with the goby dropping sand on corals?
