Member @Shooter6 is our inspiration for the QOTD with his question about sand beds and keeping them vacuumed!
Many reefers have sand in their reef tank. Some would be considered "deep" sand beds while others just sand beds. But could what we do or don't do have a direct effect on the longevity or our reef tank when it comes to the sand bed and more specifically keeping it clean? How do you keep a sand bed clean? Vacuum it, replace it, add critters that will help keep it clean etc. So let me ask you this.
Do you think that NOT keeping your sand bed clean will eventually result in a complete tank crash at some point? Why or why not?
