moving reef life to a new tank question

jnb · 03/09/2006, 10:46 AM

I have a mixed reef with a shallow sand bed - so shallow I do not have the typical red,dark areas like you see in many deeper beds and I have good flow

I was trying to decide if I can/should/should not move my sand bed as well - it has so pods, bed snails, etc which I hate to lose. Is there an problem with keeping the sand bed? other then it will take a day for the water to clear up. I have undectible po4 and no3

I don't think there will be a problem with that.
