I go by what the mods usually state.... "quote Ianho":
there is no need to turn sand!!
the gas pockets you will hear about are not dangerous for fish, the gas will rise aqnd just gas out the top of the tank. I myself haven't turned my sand for nearly a year. I know of some that haven't turned sand for nearly 3 years, with not one casualty. This is one of those old wives tales in fishkeeping that keeps on coming up.
