I guess everyone's situation is different. My tank is 5 years old with a 2-3 inch sandbed and I never touch it. I have narcisse snails (probably about 10) and a sand sifting starfish. Recently I had to replace my tank and was told that I should probably put in a new sandbed which I did. Much to my surprise, the old sandbed looked as white and clean as the day I put it in with no odor other than that of a beach. There were no green or black patches. I was surprised and thought that I probably should have just kept the old one but so far so good.

I have seen conches from LFS, about 1 to 1.5inches. I know there are two types of conch- fighing and strawberry conch. How you do distinquish them? Which on you prefer? My tank is a 34 gallon, I prefer the one that stay small.
I have heard that conch kill snail in the tank  . Is this true?

If a conch kills snails, then it is not a conch, but more likely a predatious Whelk. There are many different types of conch; Strawberry, Fighting, Orange Lip, and Tiger all stay smallish. Queen conches (and a couple others) get very large. I've had Fighting and Orange Lip, and I would say they are pretty equal.
