Sand Bed

[yhanlee]

Hi To All Reefers,

I have a 2feet(30gallon) tank which is cycling for 5days now. About 15kg of liverocks has been added and a market prwan thrown

in to start the cycle. Can see a lot of die of from the lr.Also a lot of deritus on the floor of the tank now. The question is can

i put in the coral sand after i complete my cycle? The problem is i dunt want to put the sand now due to all the deritus and also dont

wanna do water change as it will slowdown the cycling time. So is it ok to pour in the sand after complete cyling? Thanks a million

Actually should put in the sand to let it cycle together. (for me i do it this way)

As for those deritus on the base,it's either leave it or if u really wanna clean them up u can actually siphon using small rubber tube.But place a filter on top of pail so dirt will trap on wool n clean water u then can pour back into tank. This way no new water is added and cycle wun get affected.

I agreed wif Ducados. Bat. Do strive in sand too.
