    Would it be a bad Idea to replace all the sand in my 14 gal bio cube? Its not really dirty I clean it on a regular basis while doing water changes. The reason I am wanting to do this is because I have little pink things all in my sand making it look not how I want. Also I want to get rid of spaghetti worms. I have way to many. Is there anything that eats them they are all in my live rock its annoying me.

    If your using live sand and the aquarium is established. I would not reccomend it unless your going to cycle the tank again
