My sand is pretty dirty. I tested me levels and I have no trates or phosphates. It appears to be ditritus buildup of some sort, but it is sort of clumpy. On top of the clumps is a bit of dinoflagellets (sp) I have quite a bit of flow I think. For a 29 gallon tank it has a koralia 2, a return pump from the sump gives a bit of flow over the sand, and I also have 2 160gph powerheads. My cuc consists of a turbo snail and 5 nassarius snails. I plan on getting 3 cerith snails and a porcelain crab (mainly for show). Do you think this will clear up the problem? If not, what else can I do? Oh yeah, it has been setup since april, but big changes were made in july, same sand though about 1.5 inches thick. I am using walmart ro water and I plan on getting an ro/di soon.
