I've been reading about this lately and I'm still lost as to where to go from here. I have a nearly 2 month old nuvo 20 setup with about 1.5-2" of Caribsea live sand. It seems I have an awkward depth of sand and it might be better to do a little less so I can siphon it regularly. Should I start siphoning it now? Then as I siphon everything I could lose a little until I'm at the depth I need. Should I siphon all the way to the bottom glass or just the top layer? I'm not going for a dsb. I was originally planning on having a goby/ pistol shrimp combo but changed my mind so I don't think I need the deeper sand bed anymore. I would just like to know where to go from here while my tank is still pretty new
