It looks pretty bad. It may be from sand blowing up on it. I would move it up in the rockwork and give it a couple of cleanings with a turkey baster everyday. Have you tested your water recently?
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

Mine did the same thing. One side would look crappy but the other good then they would switch, sometimes both would look bad, sometimes good. This has been going on for about a year now. It hasn't died, but it just looks crappy. I havent found out what do do to make this thing happy.

If I am right you should move it from the sand as suggested and make sure it is in a low to med water flow....just a suggestion..

I sampled my water Saturday and all was good, Cal was 430, Alk was 14 dkh, amon 0 etc. I did a water Change Sunday. Tank got cloudy about a week ago, so I did a water change, Carbin change and still a cloudy tank. My mushroom are doing good and coraline alge looks good also. dont know what to do next.. I will take your suggestions and move it up a little, but my Goby gets sand everwhere. Think he just might have to go. I'm getting ready to set up my 110 gal tank as soon as I finish my stand and canapy, but i thi9nk he will stay in that tank, Im going to make it an aggressive tank. lyonfish, puffers, hope he makes it ok. He just does such a good job cleaning the sand. Thanks for the insight and I do thank you all. Hope to meet ya'll Sat at Peters.
