    So I am trying to use Live Sand in my 8 gallon Biocube. The white sand is starting to turn brown as the tank cycles. Should I move the sand around or leave it alone? Is this just part of the cycling process?

    Thanks,
    Jay

    It's the cycling process. It will go away eventually on its own. Even if you disturb the sand it will grow right back lol
