I'm not sure if it's the lighting or suspended substrate, but I can't seem to get the white water effect to go away. Also can't figure out how to properly clean my sand bed. I use a syphon that I have for my freshwater tank but I always seem to suck up a few handfuls of sand. Afterwards, I can't figure out how to get it clean to put it back in the tank! All the particles of waste just stay in the sand. How often should I feed? Perhaps that's causing the excess detritus on the sand bed? Just did a large 30 percent water change and that helped a little. Note I have a 25 gallon tank so I replaced roughly 7 gallons. I'm running a biocube air driven skimmer and a hob filter with filter floss (it's a foam pad actually) activated carbon, and bio pellets. It is an aquaclear 50. Inhabitants: 1 clown. 1 Indigo dotty back. 2 peppermint shrimp. 2 emerald crabs. 2 turbo snails. And a handful of hitch hiker hermit crabs and bristle worms. Oh, and some Kenya tree and polyp coral. I'm only 6 months into the saltwater world, so any help would be great!
