No this isn't the issue. If people HONESTLY thought their sandbed was a potential issue there probably wouldn't be much resistance to removing it.

It's ignorance and or arrogance.

Poster 1:
Removing a sandbed can be beneficial to people who are experiance problems possibly associated with such.

Poster 2: blah blah blah. I have a sandbed and I don't have any issues. This is a
Stupid thread. Clearly this guy hates sand and the way I do things.

Poster 1: but it can help people.

Poster 3: no way man. Bb is ugly. Sand is where it's at.

Poster 4: woe, slow down. We need to make sure people understand that this is not the only way. And by doing so I will show people my way.

Poster 1: but I didn't say it was. I just said it could help people.

Poster 5: no it's not the sandbed. It's because the user of such sandbed sucks at this hobby and is not as awesome as I am. Look, look. It got it figured out.

Poster 6: I might be having issues with my sandbed. Should I remove my sand?

Poster 7: well I guess maybe there is a possibility it could help. But imo you should go to the store, buy more equipment. Because your obviously lacking. Get yourself these fish, and those inverts. Well set you up with some proper dosing, get ya hooked up with all the medias and pellets, and get a nice little macro growing to out compete with all that algae on the sand. Far better plan in my opinion.

Poster 6: oh thanks. You really helped me allot. Sucks this hobby is so expensive and challenging but I guess that's just how it is...

I fully admit, I'm ignorant and arrogant.

People have sand trouble because they run LED. Period. (that'll trick 'em)

Geesh I thought this was now common practise but everyone knows that if you acid bath your sand once a month , use dry rock and add a skimmer cup of sludge you won't have these issues.
