sad day for my main tank

[jpnasty]

wonder what causes this ,,,a long time ago my sand bed was almost 7" deep and i disturbed it once to move the tank , it smelled like sulfur but i had no choice but to put the mucky sand back into the tank after the move ,everything was fine for me but i hear all the time about tank crashes caused by this. good luck

Good to have a bottle of amquel around for stuff like this.. if you stir the sand bed on accident, dose this stuff and all will be fine

On the other hand I have heard that stirring the sand bed is good, (in small amounts) as it release organisms that the corals can feed on??????

I stir mine a bit and I dont see any issues, the goni comes out more, then again I have a big system
