Yes you can

What happens when you disturb an already established deep sandbed is it release's hydrogen sulfide gases that's in the bottom and will wipe out your tank.

 

[anthony27]

:eek1:Yeah it def can do that, I have heard about that

No that only happen when you disturb the hole sand bed not a piece of it . All you have to do is every water change suck a small part of the sand bed out every water change that way the bac that is loss from the sand bed can replenish on your live rock.
