    Hair Algae Bloom

    I too have a reef tank with coral. In that environment phosphate should never be at 0.00 . A reef system needs some, even a small amount. Less than .03 is an good place to shoot for. How often do you feed? What is very likely, but not 100% is your rock could be leaching phosphates...

    How can one manage a Deep Sand bed? What new “critters” should be added?

    Here is my 2 cents. My opinion only, and this is the beauty of our hobby. Everyone has an opinion. No deep sand bed in the display tank. Maybe just enough to cover the bottom. I personally prefer a bare bottom tank for cleanliness. The refuge is just fine. I had 5" in the refuge...

    Need sand and water

    You don't need sand. Many reefers go sandless with established tanks. I am sure there are creatures that prefer sand, but in an emergency for a couple of weeks you could pass on the sand. Plus a sand bed take time to establish the beneficial bacteria. Using a foam filter would work short...
