    to vaccum or not to vaccum?

    I have a 40 gal tank with 43 lbs of lr & 4 inch sandbed, I've been reading that disturbing the sandbed is bad, but I thought you were suppost to vaccum the sand to get the bad stuff out? So which is it? Vaccum or just remove the water without messing with the sand? Thanks
