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?
