Adding sand

[SaltAddict89]

I wabt to add potentially dead sand to my bare bottom. How exactly can i do that without having to break everythibg down and not causing a cycle or a major disruption. The sand i have has been sitting in water for about 3 months now from an older tank.

Im not sure but i believe if ya RINSE alot and then some more it should be ok. I have not had alot of luck recycling sand so i just get new. not worth the risk to me.

I would add new sand. It is not worth taking chances with old sand. Rinse the new sand well with ro water and add to tank.

Once u decide , use a funnel and s hose and pour the sand through that u shouldn't get a sand storm

Does the sand have to be dry at that point can i do it wet

I added dry sand through a funnel with no hose and worked out fine.

Added the sand and waiting for the dust to clear but it wasnt that bad with using the funnel
