People have sand trouble because they run LED. Period. (that'll trick 'em)

Geesh I thought this was now common practise but everyone knows that if you acid bath your sand once a month , use dry rock and add a skimmer cup of sludge you won't have these issues.

Note to self. Leave for the coast in the morning to get some instant ocean sand....I guess. But only take half of what I need. Now there is some think'in ahead since I will have to remove half right away anyways.
