I have a 75 reef with almost ALL SPS, I have a ASM g-2,A refugium with just cheato, And ALOT of live rock and have NEVER had problems with water quality. Over the past months I am really getting sick of my sand bed. Its about 1 inch if that. I just hate it blowing around with all the flow I need for my SPS and clams it just becomes a pain. So my question is if I SLOWLY take it out (over a month) will it work and not cause a spike? Like just syphon out a little every time I do a water change. And I have no fish or inverts that burrow so thats not a problem. And then another question... You know how when your looking at the tank from the front you cant see through the sides its just like a mirror will it be like that for the bottom?
