Hi Dr Ron,

I know that might sound like a dumb question since all my cuke does is sift the sand.  But I'm thinking of switching out my sandbed b/c of concerns about excess nutrients in my system.  But I'm thinking, if I do, my cuke will have lost its only food source.  I have a serpent star and several shrimp that should be ok, I think?

Hi,

Of course, your cuke needs the sand.

A well-constructed and maintained sand bed puts no excess nutrients in an aquarium system.   


Cheers, Ron
