Tables acros and montis do u guys blow off sand or leave it ?

[BrentH]

Just wondering if u guys are keeping your tabling acros and montis clean off from
Sand and debri on a constant level or just leave it .... I have a few pieces that are getting big enough to we're they collect sand in sertian spot I turkey bast them
Off all the time but I can't see everyone doing this all the time ... And I do have really strong flow but it still settles from my wrasses diggin etc...

I turkey baste them from time to time. Even with strong flow, the fish sometimes do a little digging and stir things up.

I got rid of my sand because of this. Got tired of blowing them off.

I feel u .... I actually only have a little bit of sand in patches throughout the tank and it still seems to get up on the corals ....

 

[PL-Reef]

I usually blow them off.

 

[chopper320]

I blow mine off every few days.

 

[biggles]

I give everything the once over with a turkey baster every couple of days to blow the cobwebs out of nooks and crannies

 

[ros_sco]

I blow mine off when I clean the glass every 3 days or so

 

[tmb22]

I blow mine off after letting it sit for a couple days... mainly just because I'm lazy. But a couple times I left it for a week or so and the tissue underneath it had died. It came right back, but I wouldn't recommend letting it sit for more than 4 days or so. It is a pain though.

i use a baster and blow the sand off ... i learned the hard way by not doing it . and a small spot of my purple monti cap turned white from not getting light on that spot

 

[BrentH]

Ok I'm not alone on this I'm thinking of getting rid of the sand ....

 

[footballdude2k3]

So torn on this, hate the look of bb tanks, but hate what sand does if it is left alone.

 

[BrentH]

Me too totally torn.... Sand is a total pain though .... With the amount of flow I have it's in piles around the tank anyway

 

[biggles]

The resort is getting ready for bed but you get the idea lol. Not only do i have a stunning beach side pool area at the front of the tank but after adjusting the return pipe i now have a small intimate hot tub area at the rear left for guests as well.........:spin1:

Wavebox - effectively moves massive amounts of water for the corals, but leaves the sand in place.

 

[Centralcampus]

At least once a week I take the time to blow the sand off my corals.
