    Well I have a few green spots on the sand in my tank, i am assuming that it is algae their not really dark and are somewhat close to my rock. I just wanted to get some feed back, incase its something thats bad. better to be proactive than reactive.

    If it's only a few small spots there's probably no need to worry. As long as your parameters are good and you have enough flow it shouldn't become a problem.

    Here is a thread about sand sifters.
