I was half way there lol. My MP10's blew all the sand from the front to the back making mine a 50/50 split of sandbed and bare bottom. But another user @DSC reef inspired me to go completely barebottom. So what i've been doing is taking a little sand out each time by sucking it up with my hose for my water change.Crabs, I thought You were already there. It's working fine for me so far. I do think the sand looks better. I don't need sparkly white sand but can't have it looking like my lawn either .
I really like that idea and its so amazingly simple I am shocked that I never saw it before or thought of it myself. Thanks.
+1 on the conchs. I feel they do a fantastic job on the sand bed and are an almost must have for larger systems!
Im assuming conchs go on rocks, due to their size, im worried they are gonna knock over my corals on the rocks, does that happen alot? I have a couple of mexican turbos and have the same worry.
I have 2 120's both with sandsifting conchs that i have never seen on the rock work. They are 1.5 yrs and 6 months old! I really like them. Fun to watch their little eye!
Thanks, ill probably grab a couple for my 100 gallon.
I have 2 of them in my 187g and they have no issues interacting with each other. I have never seen them attempt to go on a rock.Thanks, ill probably grab a couple for my 100 gallon.
Not agreeing or disagreeing having never had a sand sifting starfish. I enclose the link as balance for those that do not recommend them.I added 1 sand sifting starfish to my 85 gallon tank and my sand stays clean. I do nothing else to it to keep it clean.
