I have a 100G primarily SPS tank that I have been running since February, 2016 and I have battled algae a few times over that period, as most do I would guess. It's not terrible but I am trying to keep it from getting there. So I am thinking about gradually switching to bare bottom. The way I would get there is to vacuum up the sand bed during water changes until it is all gone. (I have a new larger gravel vacuum that takes up a lot of sand anyway.) So any thoughts on this? Will bare bottom help towards keeping nutrients under better control? I am thinking I can vacuum up detritus more easily that way. Also fyi, I have always vacuumed my sand bed so there should not be any danger here.
Thanks!
