so where are the proven techniques for the long term with sand beds? I agree that a 6-month old system is still young, but where are the studies for ones older than that?
the study shows that results can vary widely with each aquarium! so what is proven and what is merely anecdotal?

The proof is in the pudding. It doesn't have to be a "written about study" to prove that it works. You might check out the multiple thousands of aquariums out there housing millions of coral and fish for multiple years. If you remember, just a couple weeks ago, we talked about sand beds and how each system has its limitations, and if "operated" within their limits, then success could be had. This isn't speculation. This is what people are doing everyday, and have been doing for years.
