    im going to be doing the same thing with my tank some time next month :p im not that big a fan of crushed coral so mine has to go ;) i guess that will give me the ambition to re-aquascape something nice... so how are you removing the sand from your tank just siphoning it out w/ water changes or??

    My leopard wrasse helped a lot with the process. I used to run a cannister, and When the leopard would dive into the sandbed at night and make a storm it slowly filtered out of the tank I lost about an inch of sand on one side of the tank in the last few months. This 5lbs that I added filled it in lovely.

    Yeah. Lowered the Bioload of the tank. I added a smaller wrasse in its place though.

    Thanks, Ive been working on quitting smoking so Ive been getting horrible headaches and feel like crap.

    But trying none the less. I had a beautiful pavona and sadly Osiris decided to dump it :( and I didnt notice and it died in the sand.
