My nano is goin' nekked!

Yesterday, I was cleanin', and I noticed that there were ginormously(making up dramatic exaggerating words

) huge piles of detrius behind the rocks (only 2) in my 2.5g nano. I figured the reason for this was the fact that my AC150 filter was not creating enough water movement on its lowest setting, and it blew sand all over when it went beyond that. Sooo, I tore it down, and cleaned, and moved everything to the big tank for a couple days, cause the water had nasty levels in the nano, even with the daily water changes, and the huge clump of cheato. While I have it down, I figured I'd paint the back as well. Anyways, it will go back up tomorrow or sunday without the sand. Any words of advice?

Thanks
