Bob, some people would consider loosing a sandbed to be a problem.

Nope, not true. I have moved entire sand beds to new tanks, and there has never been a problem, let alone a disaster. :rolleyes:

Bob, you don't have a real sand bed, you stir it regularly. I am talking about a full functioning DSB that is not stirred on a regular basis.

I am starting a new sandbed in the 120, the old one is crushed coral. I can't really setup the new tank and wait a few weeks as the old is going to be my sump from now on.

Anyone wanna lend me a RO/DI filter? :razz:

I think my corals actually look better. Thats just my experence :smile:
