This may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find a good answer and I don't want to take a chance on making the wrong choice. I currently have about 2" of sand in my tank. I debated when I started the aquarium about 15 months ago as to whether to go BB, short sand bed, or deep sand bed. Now I'm rethinking my decision. I know I don't want a BB so I'm wondering if I can add sand to my aquarium as it is set up. Should I put it in a my curing tank first and let it cycle or can I add a little at a time straight to the main tank? If I let it cycle can I use water from my water changes or should I use fresh saltwater?
