My starfish, in particular, keep everything stirred around BIG time. The brittles have even dug out huge caves under the rocks and testing my rock stacking skills.

I have a lot of CC of I'm not having any issues with it except for the sand along the front edge of the glass. I gotta clean that CC and the glass to make it pretty again!

I also don't think that a 1" bed of CC will release any toxins BUT I have heard that you shouldn't distrub more than 1/16" to 1/8" of the surface of the bed because the bacteria is that close to the surface.
