I can't belive it... I've gone barebottom!

Delphinus,
The higher flow was definitely a benefit; however, I was really suprised at how much "junk" was trapped by my sandbed. The tank was only 4 months old and I fed VERY sparingly (only had one damsel that I fed a tiny bit every 3 days). The sand looked clean and white but once I emptied it out, the water inside the sand was green and reeked! That has to contribute to nitrates doesn't it???
