sandbed, stay or go?

[bv_reefer]

Starting to consider removing my entire sandbed as it's becoming a real nuisance always getting caught in my sps corals and i always have to clean them off because of it. what are some pro's and con's of this move? The reasons i put sand in, in the first place was for it's buffering capability, and for easier keeping of sand lovers like fairy wrasses and jawfish, any thoughts much appreciated..
