im havingmega problems with one tank. its a grow out for juvies so has an incredible bioload and needs extra care and filtration. however.
the sand was play sand from a garden centre, and has recently turned blue in the lower layers.
a week ago i done a pwc and shook up ALL the sand and removed 90% of this water and all the gross stuff. the blue parts of the sand smelt disgusting, like sewer tbh.
i done another pwc today, same thing (and smell!) but now all of the sand has a blue tint and im thinking of just going back to gravel, even though i have loved the sand effect.
whats going on? is the sand going MOULDY? eww. x
