Hello, looking for advise on moving a tank..I am actually moving my tank to the other side of the room to get my lights up higher,,the tank has been set up for a little over a year with live rock and 1.5" of sand on the bnottom..
The tank is heavily stock with soft corals,,stocked heavier than most LFS for sale tanks are ..
My question is if I drain everything down with sand still left in the bottom,and refill again ,,will a sand /detrius nightmare happen with an ammonia spike and phosphate spike also. also a possible algea bloom ?
or is it better to get new sand or go bare bottom??
