![]() Im tired of my sugar size sand blowing everywhere. So I've decided to change my sandbed.
I have a 90g tank that will only house SPS corals and 2 vortech pumps, so I need lots of flow. I want the sand to stick to the ground but not big enough to be a detritus trap and BB is not an option kuz it looks unnatural ![]() Thanks in advance. Mauricio. |

![]() caribsea special grade sand works well for me with high flow that is (3x modded 6055 in a 30g and they arent getting blown around)

![]() Remove the sand, go bare bottom. Then you'll never have an issue.

![]() That's weird because all accounts that I've heard about the vortechs suggest that the flow out the powerhead is so gentle that sand blasting wasn't an issue. In fact, someone had a shallow tank of 12 inches while running a vortech and said that sand blasting wasn't a concern for them. It looks to me like your vortech is pretty high up and it still blasts the sand? So maybe just try a heavier grain of sand?

![]() I have 2 MP40s in a standard 120. I use caribsea special grade sand and I have no sand storms and it stays put. Rinse it well...
