I have had a reddish/brown film growing on my sandbed for some time now. I keep removing it, and it keeps coming back. It is covering about 70percent of the sand. I think it is some type of waste from the bacteria in the sand, but I am not sure. I think that some more sand sifting organisms would help. I had about 200 sand sifting snails in there, but a lot are not around any more. Could anyone tell me what other type of organisms I could put in it (sand sifting stars, cucumbers, snails, etc)?
The tank is a 210 fowlr. There is about 100lbs of live rock and 70lbs of base rock, 200lbs of sand, all readings are at zero (nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, silicate, etc). I have a zebra tang, coral beauty, 3 sissortail gobies, 4 blue/green chromis and a gold bar maroon clownfish. I have been slowly adding fish over the last 8 or 9 months that the tank has been set up, it is just hard for me to decide what to put in it.
Thanks for any insite on this problem.
