My Tunze is doing a good job of keeping the sand oxygenated. Every few days I have to go back and level out the sand.

I found the optimum place to put the Tunze to cause the minimum amount of sand blowing but it still makes a little sand dune that moves over a period of a few days.

I want to lower the amount of current caused by the Tunze but not cut it out completly. The only thing I can think of is either putting lots of rocks in the tank (not suppose to be done with jauber system) or putting lots of fake plants in there (highly ugly).

One idea I had is to get a stand to put on the sand to hold live rock on but I haven't seen anything I could use (the ones that were perfect were made of metal and I can't use that).

Anybody have any ideas on how to reduce current on the sand without covering up more than 30% of sand bed and without taking the pump out (or plugging it up)?
