An observation about sand and fine sand

[Aquattro]

Just to be clear, I meant acid wash the sand. Not the goby.

I should really learn to check back on these threads......my goby is now phosphate free though

scaleless goby?

The secret is mexican sand for me, I always get 20 lbs from a private beach near playa del carmen, less suntan oils and more crude oil

Well shoot now im confused .....do I remove the sand before adding the goby or add the goby before removing the sand?

Goby removes the sand. duh

Step 1 : remove all algae from system

Step 2 : add sand

Step 3 : add goby

Step 4: remove goby and sand with siphon hose

Step 5: add algae?

Then Repeat as necessary?

Yes, but only when in Mexico, and after or before acid bath.

Well seems this is a lot of work , so I'm thinking....and correct me if I'm wrong but .....I think I got it.

New plan:


I can remove all my sand to get rid of algae.

I add the sand from dispplay to the sump and put a algae sand goby in display while I dose mb7 to the sump at the same time eating a chocolate bar.

I then remove sand , add dolphin and do a water change with a " good batch" of instant ocean.

I add LEDs ..

Remove LEDs....

Troll on Rc.....

Then I remove goby , add sand ! hook up the seneye and change my name to saltwaterseahorses...



It's a good thing I'm off today I was just gonna test and possibly change out my gfo......good thing I didn't

Boy would I have looked dumbbbb...

Eureka!! You got it!!

We can put this to rest now.

Should prolly make this a sticky...
