Vacuuming....your reef!?! 04/24/2009
When you think of vacuuming the first picture that pops into your head is usually not one of a reef. Recently I have began to vacuum my shallow sand bed on a much more consistent basis,with every water change, and I have noticed some marked improvements in the health of my reef.

Good write-up Sonny... vaccuming ones sand bad is so vastly overlooked it hurts to think about. Anyone that's not running a DSB or BB should be siphoning their sand occasionally...

Great advice Sonny. I just started my tank and I used the same substrate you used. My plan all along was to vacuum my sand bed for all the same reasons you have said.
