How do you keep the sand bottom so clean looking? Frequent stirring? Critters?
Beautiful tank and setup.

Super Nice!!! What are you dosing

Thanks, I use two part to maintain calcium and alkalinity. I also use a few Zeo products namely Coral Vitalizer, Amino Acid Concentrate, and Pohlâ€™s Xtra.

Here is my Radion schedule. It is a little brighter than what Iâ€™ve read a lot of people use, so if you decide to try it make sure to use acclimation mode!

Those are both pieces from Reef Raft. The names are The Vinh and Starry Sky.

I really don't have any sand sifting critters except a couple nassarius snails. The sandbed does get moved around during high flow periods throughout the day and I think that's what helps the most. I also siphon the surface during water changes.

Hey Chris

Again, An awesome tank mate.

Just had a look through your Radion Schedule, do you not have an issue with coral bleaching running your LED at 100% for that length of hours.

Thanks
