adding sand

I'm going out and buying sand today! My question is can I add sand to my current sand bed? Currently it's very shallow, and not very good for my pistol, or Nassarius.

I'm getting more sand for my new tank xD

 

Id add it in slowly, like a cup a day. Turn off powerheads when doing so.

 

I had the same question on another forum and some one sad to get a PVC pipe and pour the sand down the PVC and that way you can pour it where you want to and they sad to use dry sand not live

 

Oh and rinse it as good as possible it will keep some of the dust form going in your tank and then I would put in new filter sock or sponge in when filtration turned back on to catch the dust out of the water

 

Yes rinse new sand with RO/DI water, once washed add small amounts so you dont bury all the good CUC from your sand bed you have now.
