Stirring the sandbed can cause problems if it's really deep (like 6"+) and you disturb the deep anaerobic zones and release hyrodgen sulfide. I have a 2-3 inch sandbed and take the baster to it once every so often with no problems. It's generally not much of a concern if you are only turning the top inch or so.
