Done it many times over the years. The main problem comes from not rinsing it before adding it back in.
Ever see the amount of "brown water" that comes even from a 1 year old tank when rinsing the sand? FYI most people never vacuum their sandbed.
I have always left a couple cups of "old" sand to add back in for the biodiversity.
Your right I did unblock you, just to see what you had to say. And as usual you didn't disappoint with the same drivel as always.Folks think its purely mean to ask for a link trail for their discoveries.
its not. work threads have overcame so many limitations set by reef rule makers. It is simply not hard for Homer to begin a rinseless tank transfer thread, but he isn't going to for a reason though he implies to be against the idea.
And where did I ever say I was against it? Pretty sure by the bold in my quote, I'm all for rinsing sandbeds. Maybe you should read(and comprehend) what I wrote before post the same drivel you post in every thread.
WE DON'T NEED YOUR WORK THREADS. THIS IS FORUM FULL OF PEOPLE POSTING THEIR EXPERIENCES, AND THATS HOW INFORMATION IS PASSED ALONG.
God how did the hobby ever progress without work threads all these years? Oh thats right, we passed along information of one reefer to another on their experiences.
