Nope, not true. I have moved entire sand beds to new tanks, and there has never been a problem, let alone a disaster.
Bob, you don't have a real sand bed, you stir it regularly. I am talking about a full functioning DSB that is not stirred on a regular basis.

I am starting a new sandbed in the 120, the old one is crushed coral. I can't really setup the new tank and wait a few weeks as the old is going to be my sump from now on.

Anyone wanna lend me a RO/DI filter?

well I just made a move to my new house 4weeks ago in that time while moving my tanks I took my sand that was in one tank put it in buckets move it to the new house put it an my reef tank instead of the crushed coral it had, put all my rock,fish and coralbask in in the same day and had no problems at all. I think my corals actually look better. Thats just my experence
