ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LIVE SAND?
Also, live sand should not alter your reading and cause a cycle. Cycles are caused through the death of living organisms and the bacteria used to negate the nutrients/ammonia, nitrites and nitrates associated with dead organisms! The sand should have living bacteria to help to maintain some sort of stability.
