I agree with Salty on the reasoning and it has proven true in my systems.
Heh, I didn't even want to argue it, everyone has to do their own thing. This is the longest I've had a tank without a crash (10 years in Nov) and I'll never do anything but a DSB (and GFO!!).
The last time I had a CRASH OF AGES I listened to someone online that convinced me that the sandbed was the source of all my HA problems, and that I should slowly get rid of it. Well slowly for me at the time was Tony-speed, and I siphoned it all out over one week. BOOM came the crash hammer. Now I just leave things alone and get rid of the phosphates....all is good in Salty's cracker (knock on wood).
