@pellepelle911 Hydrogen Sulfide would never form within the deep sand bed if the life needed is present. Dying, decomposing, and rotting matter is what leads to Hydrogen sulfide within the bed, but a DSB that has the abundance of life will never ever form hydrogen sulfide spots. As a matter of fact, I am working on a video that will illustrate Hydrogen Sulfide in my 90g system, and how long it will last after me causing it. All you answers should be addressed in that video. Stay tuned.

@newyorksteelo

thanx for that fast reply steelo, and ye great solution.

Say limited characters to write, i could post this question which was supposed to come after. i was writing the first.

last question i dont wanna keep yous busy with my qs. but could the Anoxic region of the sand bed, also be a factor when running a system. Or is that also simply solved with Sand Bed changes considdering HydrogenSulfide heaping up. or if you redo a bit if the old sand its a matter of dont dig too deep

[newyorksteelo]

@pellepelle911 Yes, and as clearly stated in the article following your quote, this is remedied by re-seeding the sand bed. In my case, I generally replace one or two pieces of live rock on a yearly basis to reseed the system of this much needed fauna. Just recently I added a brand new large piece of live rock on the right side of the tank near the Anemone. I also interchange a scoopful of sand from other reefers systems. Without this life, the DSB just wont function properly. Good luck.

I have a question as to how deep sand beds might be factor in one reaching the point of "Old Tank Syndrome". Ive been reading online a bit and stumbled upon a few articles that . for instance this one ronshimek. com/deep_sand_beds.html

If you skip to the very end of it it explains that the fauna will most certainlystarve out since the volume aquarists use for a Deep Sand Bed cannot support the species from keeping stable populations..

@jonspot I have yet to make this video, mostly because I have not had this happen to none of my systems, but I do have in mind making this video in the future. In the mean time, there are articles online that address and explain how to go about doing this. You may want to research "How To Cook Live Rock" to find the answers you seek.

@newyorksteelo First thanks for all the awsome video's . Well I'm sorry to say I have O.T.S. you make mention in this video about making a video about "cooking live rock" . What I would like to know is if you maid the vid for this yet as I have over 200lbs of live rock that needs to cook. Thanks for your time and again all the great video's.
