Hi,
I have a fine grain sand bed in my aquarium which is approximately 12 months old. I generally don't move the sand around and it typically develops bubbles underneath it. I watched a video which referred to this as "live sand".
On top of this sand I now have large patches of red / marone algae. It's like a blanket over the sand. It's the same colour as the hard algae that grows on your rocks.
Is it good, bad or neither to have this growing on the sand? I have recently disturbed it since I figured sand in the ocean never sits still.
The right or the wrong thing to do?
