If you remove your DBS make sure none of that water in the same section makes it anywhere. Just like doing a major water change

F... IT!!! I removed it... I was bored so took it out.

Since it is in a refuge chamber, I took out the live rock and put in pails, then I started scooping out the sand and putting in bags, then taking out the water in that chamber. Boy the water was bad... really yucky!!! But I was able to remove without contaminating the rest of the tank.

Anyways, all sand is out, and I have put the live rock back in and this also allowed for me to put a filter bag on the second drain. Filled tank back up with water to replace what was removed and by what the sand occupied.

If someone want the Araganite, I have it in bags in my garage. It is perfectly good, but I would rinse real well and start fresh with it. ANY TAKERS? it will be cheap to whomever wants it. Just pm me.

Now I see if this also helps my tank. Time again will tell.
