Sand bed binding????
In four years of reefkeeping so far, I've never had problems with substrate clumping until I tried being serious about maintaining simulatenous high alkalinities and high calcium. Don't get me wrong, in general I hang off every word of Dr. Ron, and that's an interesting theory about the bacterial clumping, I don't disbeleive it for second; but, I beleive my experience does support validity to the other opinions as well.
To be certain, it is good to maintain a good population of sand stirrers. I would like to try one of these tiger tail cukes some day. Anybody know how big they get?
