Hard to say. The tank seemed to have some weird issues with stability after the move, it did kind of make me wonder if the sandbed crashed because it was disturbed during the move, or there was inadequate flow in the tank creating slow flow zones. The new tank where things were moved into, hasn't been set up long enough (only a month or two), to say.

I'll tell you one thing though, I don't miss having to worry about a falling powerhead excavating the sand under the rock and toppling the reef. Never again am I placing rock over a large sandbed without support underneath.

I was just considering a remote sandbed, but now i wonder if any at all.

When I get around to it I'm going to be planting my mangroves in my leftover sand, in a IO bucket with some slow flow fed off the sump via powerhead, or something like that.

Hmm....One should epoxy a thin layer of sand, and have the best of both worlds..heh.

Totally agree, I think it would look sharp.
