Is there a specific concern you want to address or just wonderin’?I have Tampa Bay Saltwater sand in my reef tank. Set up about 6 weeks ago. Should you gravel syphon sand?
That’s my opinion as well, but I thought I read somewhere I read the Tampa Bay Saltwater recommends against it.im a strong believer in sand vacuuming, i do it once a week and noticed my nitrates and phosphates stay low in the desired range. people have success without doing it but IMO it will benefit the tank long term.
some people say it will suck out some microfauna but your liverock holds the majority of it, my tank has only benefitted from vacuuming.That’s my opinion as well, but I thought I read somewhere I read the Tampa Bay Saltwater recommends against it.
Yes to both A) and B), making it a personal decision to potentially disturb or undo the good part of live sand to remedy the perceived ill of detritus.Just curiosity. I was wondering if:
A) Detritus would build up.
B) Would I be syphoning out anything beneficial if I did do this.
