Trevor Non-member Nov 18, 2012 #1 So im starting to take my sand out to go barebottom, my question is could i siphon out the sand into a 5 gal bucket and let the sand settle and add that water back into the tank to continue siphoning? or what would you do if you were in my position?

Once you disturb the sandbed, all those chemicals will leach into the water. Better safe than sorry Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
