Deep Sand Beds Revisited

This is not meant to start an arguement!!!

A nice civil discussion would be nice.

I am very curious as to why every time the subject of DSB comes up the responses are a resounding "DSB=bad" on this board.

Yet 80% (roughly) of the people whos tank I visit have DSB of some depth and varying particle diameter. Are there really that many of us headed down the road to eventual disaster??

Or is this a case of the vocal minority scewing results.

Both posts where I have posted recently that recent studies are pointing toward there being no "Magic" sand depth and that many ways work well, the posts were quickly silent and disappeared. (not magic just no posts)

Anybody read lately a study where they came to the conclusion that DSB=BAD??

Anybody??
