Wouldn't your 100% water change and low bio-load play a bigger part?

Sand or no sand, the tank looks sweet. It's just that now it Really looks like a reef!

i've always been a fan of sand bottom. glad u've join the club. but a word of caution: newly added sand, live or or not may yield unwanted diatom algea on the sand.

I'm not a newbie to a sandbed, I know how they work. I had a sandbed when most of you guys were still in diapers

Nice to have you back Rich, sand, lps, zoos, etc...

Tank was nice to begin with, but looks much better with the sand!

Looking good Rich. I would consider adding more sand, SSB have no practical value except for aesthetic purposes.
