If you added LR then some of the animals will migrate to your sand and they will multiply.
I used to have some of those things, but they arent around anymore. I assume they died. :-(Yeah, as long as the fish eat the food immediately you should feed a little more. If you can get some chaeto algae that would really seed your tank with critters. These came in with my macro algae:
Thanks mitchellNice Zoas TC.
Does this mean I have a DSB functioning in my non DSB sand bed?The anarobic bacteria finally turned it into nitrogen gas and it bubbled out during the night. Isn't nature wonderful! That is where your sand stirrer come in by not allowing large pockets to form.
Awww..Thats too bad. So I need to get some sand stirrers to prevent the dead spots. What should I get that will survive and still do a good job? I know that sand sifting sea stars will die, as well as cucumbers. What is readily available, yet effective and long lasting?No, all it means is that you had a dead spot in your sandbed. This is bad if you were to stir up the sand and release the toxins before it turned nitrogen.
Google gobies and see if there is one that you like.
Try Nassa's again. There may not have been enough dertrius in your sand bed before but now there is probably more. Start slow with only 5-10 and see how they go.
