Default ok so I have a DSB dilemma

when everything is going according to plan, I will replace my current frag tank (including DSB) with a new and larger tank.

now the thing is, do I invest in new sand to build a new DSB, ore do I leave the new tank a BB.

the entire set up (about 450 gal total at this time (display and frag tank with DSB) is now about 19 months old.

the dilemma is that we will put the house on the market in about 2 months, and when everything is going the way we hope, we will move as well.

so do I invest in everything new, knowing it is only for a few months, ore do I try to run it without a DSB for the time it will be, and than after the moving, it is worth to invest in it again.

this all, as I cant find anyone that recommends using the existing DSB by moving it over, so if I invest in a new DSB now, it would only become a healthy DSB in a few months, and at that time it has to come out again.


overall I wonder if there is any use to the existing DSB sand, can I ever use it again (after rinsing it over and over, and let it sit for a while) ore is it something I can use in the yard and that's it
