I would say if you do it from the start of the tank then there would be no problem, but I personally wouldn't stir the sandbed if the tank was over 3-4 months old and never disturbed.

depends on how deep it is also if its under a 1 1/2 probably not a big deal deeper and you might cause yourself some trouble

my sand bed isnt all that deep, however if i notice a spot looking nasty ill mix it up, i trying to only disturb the top half...less risk, i think

my sand bed is about an inch,maybe a hair more. I have been stirring it once every 4 to 6 weeks since I started adding live stock.I'm in week 35! thanks for the advice,glueslinger
