Thanx much,
PH doesn't move, it is the same as it was when I had a sand bed. the sand doesn't really buffer a tank anyways as for it to dissolve you have to have your PH below 7 and if it is that low you have more problems to worry about.

but I suppose that if you are running a kalk reactor and a ca reactor you shouldn't have any problems.

I have a sandbed,but what Ive found realy stabilizes the Ph is my refuge with Chaeto run opposite my lights. Solid 8.3 or above depending on Alk.

I think it comes down to what you want from tank, I like sand sifting gobies, I like yellow headed Jaw Fish, I like snails, Crabs, feather duster worms, to me it is my little ocean So for me, for now I will stay with my 3" sand bed. Then again, I have only been into this hobby for four months now, next year I could change my mind. We will see.
