I siphoned mine out with each water change. I have less microfauna without the sandbed though. I had buttloads of little critters before I removed it, and now I don't notice any. There's a little in the sump, but not much.
The BB is much easier to maintain though, and I was also having the clumped sand syndrome, since my opened top won't keep any gobies in.

I slowly sucked out most of the sand in my old tank. Nothing died, but it was messy business. You won't believe the crud in a DSB! Lots of "shedding" from my live rock for about 2 months afterward. If you like the look of BB go BB, if you like the look of sand run a 1/2" to 1" and siphon and stir it. A shallow sand bed can be kept almost as clean as BB.
