An observation about sand and fine sand

Well, as it's been stated, sand does not equal algae. But the other contributors could be bound in the sand, and removing it could help. Or replace it with new, clean sand. But I've almost always had sand and never had algae issues, even feeding very heavy. It's all tank/owner dependent, and for some, it could help an existing problem, or prevent a problem that the hobbyist wouldn't otherwise manage properly.
As with everything, it's A way, not THE way.

I agree with you on that , bare bottom not so much

Damn, y'all really love your sand.

Wellp, when you guys have unbeatable cyano and hair algae issues (which is the proposition of the post, not "I'm an advanced reefer and I never get these problems"), you let me know if you find an easier way to get them corrected than removing the substrate for a while

Now do that over a wide sampling of habits and incomes.

Oh, you found an easier solution? I'm all ears.

Not sure what you're implying here.

I think the spirit of the discussion has become lost under the polarization of BB vs sand.

I'm guessing the variety that should be going into the tank.

Dosing gone horribly wrong? Or right?? hehe

When I started to have cyano algae problems I checked my RODI unit and realized all filters and membrane needed replacement. I then started to use Prodibio as well and it solved the problem

Were you really expecting everyone to agree with you? Your way is not the only way to do things buddy. What works for you might not work for me and vice versa.
