They are pricey though..and if the sand is too big they get digestive problems and double their excrement production which fuels the algae sand even more!!!
I swear if this hobby doesn't get easier any time soon I'm throwing out the sand and going with bio balls for a substrate.

Well seems this is a lot of work , so I'm thinking....and correct me if I'm wrong but .....I think I got it.

New plan:


I can remove all my sand to get rid of algae.

I add the sand from dispplay to the sump and put a algae sand goby in display while I dose mb7 to the sump at the same time eating a chocolate bar.

I then remove sand , add dolphin and do a water change with a " good batch" of instant ocean.

I add LEDs ..

Remove LEDs....

Troll on Rc.....

Then I remove goby , add sand ! hook up the seneye and change my name to saltwaterseahorses...



It's a good thing I'm off today I was just gonna test and possibly change out my gfo......good thing I didn't :)

Boy would I have looked dumbbbb...

Eureka!! You got it!!

We can put this to rest now.

Should prolly make this a sticky...

I think it is something a little stronger, and in the air... Maybe the pineapple xpress blew it in. Maui, wowie?...

Thnks guys , looks like I'm off to find a mexican MB sand sifting instant algae goby:)

Latin name: Algaesiftus instagobus

bwhahahaha

but don't forget to add a fresh squeeze of lime before adding the mexican sand, that is after removing the goby but before the acid
