My tank is 3 years old. It is 150 g with DIY downdraft skimmer with iwaki 50
rlt.
I constanly get diatoms and cyano all over it. I can hand shift the sand but
cyano is in one day back.
On the live rock I don't have any nuissance algae, only coraline. Corals are
growing, mainly softies and lps but also two sps corals

Hi,

I'm wondering how is everyone here maintaing the sand. I have problem
with it, it constantly gets algae growth over it. First diatoms, then
cyano. I have very fine aragonite based sand.
Is anyone sifoning the debris from sand or shifting it and how often? Any
other methods?

tnx


As Marc stated....
Your sand will stay as your tank mature. The sand will get slimed and will
be weight down [eventually].
