DSB Cleaning

[ron101]

Im getting the tell tale signs of deep sand bed nutrient buildup: algae on the sand, reduced coral and coralline growth, etc so it's time for a teardown.

This time around I won't be doing a DSB but I would like to reuse some of the sand. What does everyone think about giving it a good rinse (salt/fresh?) and reusing or just toss it and replace?

Also where is a good place in the Vancouver area to get large'ish totes for temporary tanks?

TIA
