I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Ooo...Save yourself some anguish and buy mostly new sand. It's not worth the hassle.

1 or 2 bags of sand vs. possible loss of corals. Losing all the time and effort put into your corals isn't worth it and sand is cheap.

Mine sand bed is from Feb this year. If I don't want to cycle the tank again I should just go new?

If I did resuse the old sand bed I just need to cycle it till its free from ammonia,nitrites and nitrates correct?
