I've read a ton of threads about sand precipitation, but nothing about a solution for it. Maybe it's 'set in stone' so to speak.
I had a lot of precipitation when my tank was new. Some sections of sand in corners and near live rock are as hard as concrete. I've tried scraping them with a spoon, poking them, etc but they aren't coming out and I'm not making any progress making them smaller. Is there any way to reverse the precipitation or cause the pieces to break up enough to at least be able to remove them? I'm guessing not, especially without disrupting the tank, but figured it's worth asking to be sure.
