Main question is, I set up this tank from a move about 3 months ago, and bought all new cari live sand for it, 220lbs. because my lfs said I should replace all sand every move. It's been 3 months and I'm moving again. I don't have the 200 bones to throw away for new, fresher sand, but what should I do ? dump the sand and wait until I can get more ? (bare bottom for a bit).
Side note, I had two Gobys, diamond and gold head. Had the diamond for a few years and the gold head for a few weeks. Died the same night, so not much sand cleaning since, about 2-1/2 weeks ago :/.
I have a newly established 180 Gallon, 2 MP40s, about 80-100lbs of liverock with 5-7% corralline growth on them, 30 gal sump, Reef Octopus skimmer, forget model, but large enough. 2 clowns, 1 foxface, 1 tang, 1 niger trigger, 1 cleaner shrimp, banded star, yellow cucumber, 5 snails, two tux urchins, 3 various small frags.
