Rich, it's possible that my sand problem stems from an open bucket off sand and my cat. Most of the sand is about 4.5 years old, so it's possible that the old sand syndrome hit me
I've been fighting some weird algae for a while on the sand, and just decided I'm tired of it. I'm putting more sand in, but only about an inch.
The eurobracing isn't going to happen; I didn't plan this well enough and I can't force my critters to suffer due to my poor planning. I'm just going to have to clean the center brace more diligently.
Now I have the task of filling the tank up. I have no idea how I'm going to fit everything back in.
And I'll have an official frag tank set up in the next few days, and should be able to give you an idea if and what is available!
