It’s fine sand, most of the tank is 2.5-3”, but wavemakers blow the sand away from edges of tank. The middle cave-where he sleeps- has 3 I thinkThe fuge should help with nitrate as will the skimmer but I suspect a nitrate issue especially if above 20. Another factor is PH wuich needs to be 8.1 - 8.3 for these guys. Blue spots are one of the prettiest but also one of the more difficult to keep long term.
Substrate, to confirm is it fine sand or coarse? They need fine sand at - at least 3"

The ray doesn't look all that bad - I've seen a LOT worse, these can be very delicate when first acquired. I don't see any of the "death curl", where they fold their pectoral fins up....I always lose them when I see that....A couple days ago I missed two feeding days, that’s around when he started getting skinny. Is prazi out of the question now? The prazi I thought I had was actually expired so I never used it. The new prazi bottle comes today, should I still try it?
