Adding sand to an already existing tank? Possible?

[joem1cha3l]

Want to add another 2 inches of sand or so guys. Is this possible? I currently have 3 snails, 3 sandsifters, green button polyps and a cubicus boxfish. I beleive I will be getting rid of the boxfish to prevent any issues with "poisoning" as I add more coral and a pair of clowns.

Yes, check out Melevs thread he just added sand in the last month or two and documented how he did.

how deep is your sand now? If you're trying to lay down a DSB it's not really worth it in tanks as small as ours. Dr. Ron was of the opinion that 75-100 was kind of the lower end for DSBs to be effective. He suggested that I have enough sand for benthic life to live in - 2" or so, and just "recharge" it each year with a seeding of livesand and/or worms from another reeftank.
