The sand border in my 46 gallon tank is holding strong, and today I figured out an easy way to clean the sandy area up front. If I place my palm against the glass and flap it hard enough, sand and debris will be pushed outward in all directions. This is great for a couple reasons. First because it reveals fresher, whiter sand. But even better, it pushes the older and discolored (green dust algae!) sand into the undergrowth of the foreground plants and blurs the line between my sand and flourite, making it look more natural.
Hey good lookin...
