Best remedy for mice, get a cat.. i had a lot of issues with mice years ago, a cat was the solution. I didn't want poisons or traps in my house. We have been mice free for years now.

My dogs don't like cats due to when they were puppies the neighbors cat beat them up pretty bad. So cat is out.
I was planning on getting new sand as I hate fine sand! Such a pain.
I like the special grade stuff! I use it in all my tanks now.
I was also thinking I might reuse the sand but in the sump.

If you reuse any of your old sand rinse it really really well before adding it. To much gunk gets trapped in old sand and will cause issues if not rinsed out well before being transferred.
