Tank update and algae on sand question (pic)

[Kinghugo5]

Hi All!

I’ve added two clowns as of Wednesday. All levels still look good. They pretty immediately took to each other so that’s a plus. They are eating well, too! Also added 5 blue leg hermits.

Should I sift the sand for the algae or get a goby eventually? If goby, when? Don’t want the sand to get too out of hand... any suggestions much appreciated.

I would get goby to keep the sand moving. What size tank is this? There are other sand stirring options also like certain snails, etc.

72 bowfront! Only have the two clowns as of now. It’s a new tank and just added them Wednesday so prob won’t add a goby for a couple of weeks if so.

Do you have a QT ready for other fish before adding them? I would look into inverts then to keep the sand moving.

I don’t have a QT yet but am considering it.
