Hello,
I am wondering if any of you have added sand to a live and mature aquarium? I feel my sand bed is way too shallow and wanted to add a good 60-100 pounds of sand. Is this a bad idea? I realize I would have a mini cycle but my concern is the cloudiness of the water and how it will effect the fish and coral. When I set up the tank and added sand, the water was murky for a week. My fish and corals would be "breathing" this in so I am apprehensive to add some. At the same time, my sand bed diminishes with every water change.
Thanks in advance!
