Hello all,
Thanks again for continued assistance. I have two questions:
1) Which fish & Inverts do you suggest for keeping a sand bottom clean?
2) How long should a refugium light be left on?
Even with the 500+ gallons per hour flow through my tank, and a Rio 600 pump moving the water (the water movement is swift) I am noticing brown spots on the sand. I am sure it is impossible to keep the sand perfectly white, and not sure if that should even be my goal, but I wonder what I can add to the tank to keep the sand clean.
I think the brown is just algae, although since putting the refugium into service, I have not seen a single spot of algae on the walls of the tank....so I wonder how some of my liverock appears to be turning brown as if it were an algae bloom??
Thanks
