Yes

Get an abundance of copepods. And for the sand, get a Florida fighting conch.

Will this help with algae?

What kind of algae? Get specific.

Florida fighting conch is best bet for sandbeds. Many differrent species of copepods that eat algae. GHA is a favorite.

@Mike7744
I have perused your threads and noted that you have had a chronic algae problem since you started this 120G tank in May. What is the source of your live rock? I assume you transferred rock from your established 75G tank.

Consider bringing in diver collected live rock to increase diversity of consumers & competitors of your nuisance algae.

Please post pictures of your algae, including a full tank shot.

I started with 45 pounds of gulf live Rock. Then added some dry rock for a total of 90 pounds. The rock is about 4 and a 1/2 years old.
