Congratulations on receiving TOTM! Well done on a lovely reef.
Two questions for you:
Do you know what species your large blue stag is?
When you removed your DSB, was there any reason that you decided to leave the 4-5cm of sandbed instead of reducing it to just a couple cm? Or are you still in the process of reducing the depth?

Thank you for your comment
You already read the threat "NP reducing bio-pellets" on RC for sure. Here's a link for those who haven't been familiar with it yet, although it's nearly impossible: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1694529 It's a very informative threat based on our experience.
-If NO3 and PO4 levels in your tank are high, it would be better start with less quantity of BP and add them gradually to evade sudden changes in the quality of water.
-The water needs to be oxygenated well, because bacteria use a lot of O2.
-Don't neglect the advice of manufacturer regarding placing the outlet of the filter with pellets next to the inlet of your skimmer.
-I wouldn't use other organic carbon like vodka, sugar etc. together with the BP in the long run - according to the sentence "Too much breaks the bag".
-At last, give them some time to become convinced of their effectiveness. The BP are really effective if you don't interfere with them.
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Alright, now that I've picked my jaw up off the floor and stopped drooling, I've got a question. Is there a particular reason why you're depleting your Deep Sand Bed? I've got one right now in my Display Tank, and despite what some people say, haven't had any problems with it.
Thank you.
I bought this blue staghorn as acropora formosa 5 years ago.
The sandbed is still in the progress of reducing, I extended that for several months. Why 4-5 cm? I think that this depth is rather safe, it is neither too deep nor to shallow as well as gives the tank a natural look.

They seem to be quarantined well and healthy, not starved. They eat eagerly, swim freely and aren't afraid of anything. I hope they will survive on food that are fed on.
