I always vacuum almost all my sand every single water change if that helps. Water from it is normally pretty murky. But I'm sure that's normal. My tank going to look so empty if I take out all my dead sps =(

Is vacuuming sand bed a good thing? I have never stirred up or vacuumed My 120 gallons sand bed I thought it just stirred up nutrients. I thruthfully don't know if it's good or bad.
