minchton Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Does anyone have coral sand in their sumps. I just purchased some for my tank but after getting it home I discovered it was a different colour so I thought I would use it as a medium in the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suphew Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I do and wish I didn't, my sump is all in one, so if I move anything it disturbs the sand which atleast makes the tank cloudy for a day. I had a big move around in my sump a couple of weeks ago to move my skimmer pump so the intake gets water directly from the over flow. To do this I had to move a lot of sand around since doing this I have had an out break of hair algae and cyno bact, which I have put down releasing all the stuff in the sand.
