Sand bed binding????
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I had the problem in my 72gal that I added only kalk for top off.  It is possible you are adding more Ca than your system requires.  Try cutting back a little.  I was also having this problem on my new tank that has a Ca reactor.  I eased up on the amount of CO2 I was adding (thanks Marc) and voila, sandbed isn't clumping.
