Bootleg videoa wont cut it.
We pics of the tank,EVEN if has algae in it:D
When you buy more rock from your LFS,take a bucket thats about 1/2 full of water from your tank.That way you know that 99.9% of the hitch hikers will survive the trip.

Will due, the tank is really annoying me. I was told by the trusted LFS guy who generally tries tohelp and not rip people off that I should get rid of all my sand.

bare bottom vs sand is a very heated debate and it really doesnt matter, if you wat sand go for it but if you want bare bottom them do that, youll be fine either way

Heres the deal with the algae.
Your tanks new.So your going to have some algae outbreaks.It takes time for everything to settle in so that the tank can handle the excess nutrients.So the algae shows up.Its a pain,but it can be worked through.MAtter of fact,if you can post your readings for ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,PH,alkalinity,and calcium,along with what your feeding your fish and how much,we can you get through it lot quicker.
As for removing the sand,would you expect a wild reef to not have any sand?
