You might have the culprit there....dsb's eventually turn on you and start puking garbage back in unless it's sugar fine sand and even then most would recommend having a remote sandbed that you can take offline to clean after a year.

Iodine has nothing to do with it.....I wouldn't disturb the entire sand bed if you feel it is the problem. Break it into say 8 quadrants and with every water change you could vac a section. I would still try feeding a bit less or VSV first as disturbing your sand bed potentially could make things worse or cause a full crash if you hit a pocket of sulphur dioxide....feeling like your dealing with a potential bomb yet? I don't like sand beds of any kind for this exact reason.
