Sand

[langel]

So I have very fine sand on the bottom of my tank. I really don't like it, as my clown fish likes to fan it all the time and it gets all over my corals. Does anyone have ideas what I could do?

I had the same problem when I set the new tank up. I used sugar fine. I ended up putting a thin layer of crushed coral over the sugar fine sand. It's maybe a quarter inch to half inch on top. That has held the fine stuff down very well. The only problem I've found with the curshed coral is that it gets covered in coralline algae very quick. Doesn't bother me to have a purple sand bed. :lol:
