Personally though I find it such a pain to rinse all the old sand out, much easier and safer to just buy new sand.

![]() Yes it is a PITA but cost wise it's more reasonable.

![]() I too have done this several times. Just rinse ur old sand and keep rinsing. I use RO water but I have a huge reservoir. Keep 2-3 cups of your old sand and don't rinse that and just mix it in with the rinsed sand. Don't know about the others but I do the same with brand new sand anyways. But if one can afford to run a SW tank than sand really isnt that expensive

![]() Thanks for the help
Spent the day moving everything and the new tank is up and kind of running. Old sandbed is still in the old tank, I may rinse it really good tomorrow but we'll see how ambitious I am. I may just buy new stuff, we'll see how tomorrow morning goes! Back into a big(ish) tank - 75 gallons now! Feels good ![]() |

![]() I did, having an existing stand was a big driver as to the size and shape of tank I could get.
I'm hoping that this is going to be a nice compromise between the stability and versatility of a big tank without the maintenance bill of a 100+ tank. |
