I use Walt Smith's products and I like them. I would use it...
Your sand bed depth can be beneficial or detrimental the deeper the sand bed. Bacteria and the denitrification and gas exchange process will be better achieved with a deeper sand base. The ability to house more organisms and provide more food for benthic organisms also exists.
The major drawback is that IF you have a power failure, your dissolved oxygen level within your tank will diminish drastically causing suffocation of your livestock! Also, warmer temperatures will inhibit the growth and population of many organisms residing within the benthic area of your tank as well!
Some food for thought!
As geek stated do some research to educate yourself further!
