I have about a 5 inch deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef that has been running for about 10 months. I have heard about stirring the sand bed to prevent it from building up harmful stuff. some have said it is a must do and others say that you should disturb your sand bed as little as possible. i think that it sounds logical to stir your sand bed. I am curious what are your opinions on stirring a DSB. I am thinking about doing little sections, about a 7 by 7 area, every few weeks until i have stirred the entire sanded. would complete string be good or just "rake" it to loosen it up and release gasses and such be better? what are you thoughts? thanks.
