So i added more live sand
Hi all, New to the forums and figured I would ask you all a question or two once in a while. I have a 29 gallon tank, has been set up for just about a year now. Not much live rock MAYBE 10-12 LBS I would say. Built my own sump, have a skimmer its an Aqua Clear 120 with a maxijet 1200 pump (way better then the rio let me tell you). Just got back from vacation, and my little brother unplugged my heater, temps plummeted and 4 out of my 5 green chromis died. Thats all i have had in the tank. When the tank first cycled completely i had some damsels afterwords, but water parameters were WAYY out of wack, so my livestock didn’t make it through. I had about 20 lbs of live sand in the tank which started to grow brown algea in spots, i threw a power head in the tank as soon as i noticed it, and the growth didn’t stop but definitely slowed down. Yesterday my order of 40lbs of live sand came in. 40 lbs of Arag Alive Oolite. Really fine stuff. Basically i just put it rite on top of my existing sand. Did this all at about midnight last night, woke up this mornin and my tank was STILL experiencing a sand storm lol. I left my power heads, and sump on. I have learned that that was not as good of an idea as i thought it would be. When can i expect to have my tank somewhat cleared up? I’m excited to see how this DSB will treat me.
