might have made a mistake I dont know if I can fix
 

The black sand in my tank as it turns out is attracted to magnets. on the bag it said reef safe so I may be ok, but there is obviously some kine of metal content in it. What problems am I looking at and is it going to be a pita to fix?

put a magnet in a bag, and sift through it, the sand should stick on the bag and release it outside the tank.

or take the sand out completely

so should I be taking all the sand out? or just sifting most of the metal bits out?

If my sand stuck to a magnet, it would be coming out before I even replied back to this post!

lol sh*t. thats what I'm afraid of. but my tanks set up should I remove it all with the magnet? I mean there shouldnt be any real ammonia or nitrates built into the bed yet that would be pose a problem from disturbing the sand bed would there? looks like I have to find a good magnet.

I wouldn't feel safe keeping one bit of that sand if it's sticking to a magnet.. I would suction it ALL out. What brand is it?

Just siphon it out
