I think it's best to use a variety of sand sizes, add a little bit of crushed coral to your sugargrain and it would help in keeping it settled while...
So i've seen alot of articles/threads regarding not doing frequent water changes on a very lightly bioloaded/fed tank, and they do very well in...
How long can Chaeto algae survive without lights or flow?

I think you should frag it and save it from the cloves colony.
