oldbrownies Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I had no idea for about 6 months on my tank, and then my chromis started dissapearing, one after another, until i finally found a rock crab living in a cave in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robz Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I really like the way your sand bed looks. What process did you use in makeing it? Did you rinse the sand and wait for it to dry before you mixed in with the faux? How long did you let it cure before adding water? Very nice looking reef.

H20cooled Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thank you, I'm happy with the way it came out, its a little ugly now because I've been fighting with algae. I copied a process that I found on Reef tank The sand that I had was rinsed a long time ago and was completly dry, I didn't wait any certain amount of time for it to cure but the tank sat in my garage for around 2 months before it was used.

robz Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Atleast you can suck the algae out without sucking up the sand. Or if it's the tough stuff just scrub it with a tooth brush before doing a water change. If I go with the faux sandbed I'll be sure and have a ton of flow down low to hopefully keep algae from forming on the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robz Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Or what are your thoughts on black sand? Less reflective and just maybe algae would have a harder time growing on a less bright surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H20cooled Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 I've seen the black sand and it looks awesome for a bit but then looks really bad. It shows to much of the junk on sand. Algae isn't going to care what color the sand is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robz Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Have you had any coraline growing on the faux sandbed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
