First of all, I want to thank everyone for their helpful advice on how to move my aquarium....

Here's the problem...

I took the top 2 inches or so of my sand bed and placed it on top of 5 inches of new sand, so I'm back to 7" of sand bed again.... After replacing my live rock and filling the tank with new water (ensuring that it matches the same SG and temp of my old water) I ended up with about an 80% water change (keeping 20% of the old water)....

Things look fine thus far, albiet a bit dusty and cloudy....

BUT now I'm worried that there's going to be a huge nutrients problem with the tank (after re reading and doing some more research on the board on moving DSBs).... Is there anything I can do potentially to prevent a massive algae outbreak?

If I do have one, any potential advice?

Thanks,
