Fluval edge nano reef

Also, as the tank ages, consider swapping out your sandbed completely every once in a while. It's easier and more effective than cleaning it. I'd say a complete swap every six months or so is about right. Every tank is different though and you'll be able to gauge it based on how fast algae grows.

Really? Does it store that much algae rich nutrients? I have never head of that being done before

[albert_dao]

That's cuz you don't hear a lot about long term success in nano tanks in general haha.

It's m first nano/salt so lots to lean. Now is the justification because it hosts a the waste? Wouldn't the live bacteria break it down? On the flip side wouldn't removing to much at once put a hit on the good bacteria in the tank?(although love rock is prob 90% of it)

What to add next...
Orange plate coral or Blastomussa

This is going to be a psot writtn under haevy, alcohol-induced duress. hoowver, information shoulld be accrurate. check this sht

sand sux. its porous. you can vacuum at it for hours and still pull crud out. it's like moving into ann ap[artment with carpet. and the previso tenants were a group of fifty 20-something hipsters. good luck ever getting rid of the smell of weed and bacon. sand is like that.

anyway, bacteria do'esnt breka all of it dowwn. Or fast enough. Bacteria are lazy like that. One sesson of vacuuming will remove more organicss than what a bunch of supine bacteria could do in two yearrss. Anyway,, your rock will have enough bacteria. you coudl also put ceramscis into your filter. tHat helps a lot.

Happy New Year. ♥

I seem to suck some up every water change so I think this process will happen organically... I'll just have to re-add some every six months!

A few new additions today! Thanks Brent!

Looks very good! Makes me want to start a Fluval at work or on the countertop. Love the aquascape.
