Adding live sand-how to

[Dawn II]

I know with dry sand, a funnel and pvc- what about adding wet sand to an established tank? I want to increase my sand bed a little without making a mess. Can someone send me a link- the search engine here keeps giving me error messages. Thanks, Dawn.

Well, technically, when dry sand hits water, it will be wet sand. I don't think you will get around the 'dust' cloud. And, it settles in a day or two.

I mean a delivery system to the tank- as wet sand won't pour through a funnel.

You could always submerse the bag of live sand, hold it on the bottom of the tank and then use a razor to cut the bag open. If anything it might cut down the amount of "dust storm" that you will get.

Thank you- that's what I'm looking for! Dawn.
