    I took my live sand completely out. I dont have any! I have crushed kaelini at the bottom of my tank but not much. My algae problem isnt completely out of hand, but I do a lot of cleaning. Was thinking of getting a coral beauty to graze but is there any way I can mainitain adequate biofiltration w/o adding pounds upon pounds of live sand? I just hate the filth.
