Fish Fanatic
I have sand right now in the tank, i think it would be near impossible to remove it as i don't have anywhere to put my fish while i do it. Would it be okay to just sprinkle some crushed coral over the top of the sand? i can remove some sand using the siphon. Also would live rock help? If i remember correctly malawi cichlids like the sand+rock combination? the last thing is, i am getting quite a bit of algae build up in the tank, i am cleaning it literally every couple days, i have heard that you can buy some fish, snails or shrimp that would reduce the amount of algae, but i cant find any that would be suitable with my cichlids and the tank conditions, the temp is around 25-26. any suggestions would really help, thank you
