I don't have enough water to get my tank started can i add the live sand safely a day before i have the system running? I will have like 50 gal of water in a 108 gal display. I need to get SOME water in so I can level but i don't have all the water until tomorrow. Will the live sand loose any bacteria or anything if its just in some water with no circulation? Thanks!

should be fine ... took me 2 days to fill the tank before.

I agree with @Robink, as long as the sand stays wet it should be fine.

Agreed

Expect tome cloudiness from sand at first but will turn out. Keeping the bacteria established and alive is key

Welcome! Definitely make a build thread on it and to answer your question as to where - in the "Member Tanks" section. Make sure you post plenty of pictures and get yourself a sweet 'Build Thread Contributor' badge!

I think in member tanks, start a build thread.
