not sure if I put this in the right forum but....
I'm having a slight phosphate issue and am starting to blame it on my sand bed. Ive been doing a lot of research about the BB vs Sand bed debate and im curios on opinions of what you have BB or Sand and why.???
I siphon my sand bed every WC and have a strong flow for no dead spots. Im still starting to consider slowly siphoning out a majority of my sand if not all. I have 1" 1 1/2" of sand at MOST. I just cant think of having a tank without sand aesthetically wise. I also don't wanna lose a lot of my inverts have that thrive in my sand (nassarius snails etc). but then again I try to give my SPS the best water quality possible. I love the look of sand but im starting to regret adding sand to the thought of it being a detritus haven. Any Ideas?
Love to hear any and all opinions and comments from you Die hard SPS keepers on this subject.
- Im wondering who has a thriving sps tank and has a sand bottom? if so how much sand? Pics would be nice as well.
