It’s normal when you first start out to go through a ugly stage. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to add some snails into your CUC crew that will move the sand around and help keep it clean. That is what I did when I first started I added some nassarius snails to stir it up for me.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
