I've decided to use my 90 Gal. that was my original Reef to be tank...I had purchased this and started my set up back in 03. It has a 4" sand bed and 80 lbs. of LR but then when I took on a new job that kept me from home for up to a month at a time I just purchased a couple of fish for my wife and left it at that. It was highly neglected for the past 5 to 6 years...I kept a skimmer running and would empty it whenever I returned home but other that that, the wife fed the fish and that's it.
I have cleaned it all up now...gave my fish to a friend...major water change...T5 lights...sump on the way. Water tests are looking good actually also. My problem is, or questions are, the LR looks pretty much dead...little or no life at all that I can see...should I just add another 40 lbs to liven things up? Also, I do not see much activity in my sand bed either (4") 1 bristle worm that I've seen, is there anything I can do to "liven" up my sand? Any help or ideas would be great.
