keeping a white sandbed is very possible but tedious

1. your nuisance algae growth must be minimal which points to your water perimeters

2. weekly/fortnightly vacuuming of the sand bed is key to a pristine white bottom. most reefers (if i'm not wrong chingchai included) vacuum up the top layer which is covered with unsightly algae and replace it with a new layer of sand in order to maintain the whiteness

3. you can seek help from sand dwellers like sand gobys, sand dollars, snails etc but each comes with its pros and cons

hope this helps you a bit :thumbsup:

Of course 1 shifting not enough... It can be one of the solution plus other snails or goby..

For me mine using one for my 3ft tank is good plus my snails.. And a good water parameter... Less algae...
