*needs An Anecdote*

[Bowling_Fleury]

I have a big salt tank with three sharks, one tiny crab and lots of sand. The sand is getting old, so I'd really like to switch it out with some glass beads, but keep the sand for later. Is there any sane way to go about this? And also, will my crab need to be moved to a personal bowl with sand, or will he be able to handle the beads? He's a little under a half inch long.

How big is this tank? Why would you be changing out the sand for something so unnatural as glass beads? The glass beads will leave a lot of space between them for detritus to collect and foul the tank.

No marbles, glass beads, et cetera in any tank except for one intended to spawn freshwater cyprinids.
