A fat sandbed full of anaerobic bacteria is worth a lot more than $20... some would say it is priceless.

When you moved yours was it disturbed? If any oxygen or oxygen rich water hits then yes it will take a nasty dive. I left just enough water in to cover the sand bed and made sure not to disturb it in any way.
