ensure you have adequate sand sifting action by your cuc, as long as thats the case you should see the diatoms clear up with some time.
Water changes won't hurt though.

Looks great so far though, 'nems are so cool when they are small.

I have blue leg hermits, astrea, turbo,and nassarius snails. None of them sift the sand and the nassarius just mix it a tiny bit.

What would you recommend?

I've had a sand sifting starfish for years. He does a great job of sifting the sand. Gobies are great too. Although, they tend to kick up a lot of sand sometimes.

I was about to pick up a sandsifting star for $5 but I didnt think my sand could sustain it cause its fairly new...and I heard mixed reviews of how it will eat everything in the sand. I really want a goby...but heard it wont eat the algae on the sand.

PS your gsp looks awesome in my tank

Nice 72 James. I just ordered a 72 Bow Front and I'm stolked to aquascape it!

I started setting up my first tank (50g) about a month ago. As I learned more about this hobby I realized that my 50g was too narrow for what I wanted to accomplish. When my new bofront comes in, I'll transfer my live rock and fish to it. I plan on keeping a photo diary too. Keep tuned!!
