Like everything in a tank it needs to be maintained either by a crew of critters or by yourself. Nothing in a tank is maintenance free

Yeah I have never had luck with sandbed critters, maybe a few spaghetti worms but for the most part I never see anything happening in there. I give it a stir every once in awhile with a chopstick but have been too busy for much this past month. I had hoped this small tank would rekindle my interest for reefing as my big tank has taken a hit this year. Sadly this is sucking just as hard as the big one.
