    Okay a dude from aquarium solutionscame to help set up the tank and said our 2 in (maybe 3 in in some places) sand bed would be okay for shrimp gobies and a bs jawfish-- is it? If it isnt, my tank is just done cycling so what can I do????

    It is fine, just be careful and make sure to clean the sand bed alot,ive heard of RDS, over a couple of years of not being cleaned causing a tank to crash

    well it may be 3 in which some sites have said is enough of a deep sand bed to not need cleaning. Thoughts? Is there any way I can add more without throwing of th cycle

    deep is good for filtration and if you clean ur tank and syphon some by accident its not a big deal. deep to me is good.
