Interesting thread advocating for us to clean our sand
In all honesty, siphoning should not kill all those little critters. I'm a big fan of them myself. It's just that at the end of the day, those critters poop too and if its not being siphoned its just sitting there....
It's the crux of the DSB system, you eventually reach the point of no return where your sand is so loaded with poo in various stages of decomposition that any disturbance of the sand will release all those built up toxins into the water column and cause a crash.
