What led you to ectomy your sandbed? Sounds like a lot of effort.

Among a few other issues, sand anemones were the main reason. I couldn't keep snails alive, it was either the anemones go, or I get owned by patches of hair algae. In those terms, it's easier to understand , and in retrospect all the effort was a small price to pay.
