    sorry the question was is a 2in or less sand bed safe in DT with a CUC with plenty of sand shifter type CUC's

    and is a 5in sand bed in the fug safe for mangroves,cheato,pods, and a CUC

    Yep its actually preferred unless you want sand dwelling fish. Some people run into deep sand bed problems in the long long run

    i would leave out the true sand sifters. They can remove all of your fauna and usually end up starving. i like the idea of the 2 in the dt and 5 in the fuge. Like ontop27 said, make sure you don't want any fish that sleep in the sand like some wrasses.
