Changing sand bed...

[staceyd72]

Not sure if there is a need to outright replace it, as in 'being old/worn out'. But I do add to it a couple times a year. What I vacuum out with water changes I just replace and add a couple pounds of new along with. Maybe there are other underlying issues that are causing the nitrates to increase??
