I suspect it will. As I mentioned in one of my posts, the algae on my front glass required cleaning at least daily, often more. After removal of the sand yesterday, so, 30 hours ago, I have 0 algae on my glass. This is how my tank used to run in the first 2 years. I think the sand is a sink for garbage and one day it starts giving back. For a time reference, this portion of sand I removed was replaced about 2 years ago.
My new opinion is yes, it's a ticking bomb.
