I did a switch over the holidays and reused my sand, topping it up with some new stuff. The only adverse effect that I have experienced is a nasty diatom bloom.

Well i did it!!!
114 to 175!!
Used ALL my old sand and topped it with about 60lbs of new sand.
I strained out most of the water out of the sand as I moved it over, and that's it. Took a couple days to clear....but everything is A okay now.
Not as ugly of a job as I thought.....but my DSB was only about 4 yrs old too.
Would reccomend doing...if you spend the time to strain out the water.
