I dont think Chucks DSB has anything like OTS. Chucks tank took a couple of big hits, A temp malfunction and a FW med that had a big effect on the infuana in his bed. This is one of the problems with DSB filtration. In a normal tank a good vacuuming and a hardy clean would have done the trick to rid it of its downward spiral. In this case, Because the bed is so deep we cant run the risk of doing a deep cleaning (that would only release more toxins into the water column) so the only way to really beet this thing is to remove the sand and give it a good cleaning.
As per reusing the sand it will be fine if its given a REAL good wash (bacteria can put a tough hold on the sand particles)
