Sand Beds- How Deep is yours?
I was reading about the depth of sand beds and at what point it can cause problems. Cant find it yet but was reading about dark spots in the lower depths were a sign of it being too deep.

Can we do polls here? ... "How Deep is your Sand Bed?"

Please provide links to research pages.

Thx

In the 125 my sand bed is 2" and in the fuge it is 3".

In the 90 the sand bed is 3" and the fuge is 3 - 4".

In the 180 the sand bed will be 3" and the fuge will be 3 - 5".

Currently in the sock on my right foot the sand is about .25".

Thx for all the replies so far! I couldnt figure out how to do a poll here.
For future reference, Is it possible to make polls here?
