I am planning to add sand back into my currently BB 75g reef. I have 80lbs of caribsea aroganite that I will add (2/3 white and 1/3 black sand).
my main question is, will the following course of action be okay...
1) wash all sand using tap water
2) take out 20g of water from system
3) move corals to a 5g bucket filled with water
3) take out all the rock and store dry in bins while sand is added cup by cup
4) once sand has been added, re-aquascape rocks
5) add corals back into tank
6) top off with fresh water
I am hoping to put the sand in tonight, and then plan to get my CUC tomorrow or tuesday (will be getting 20 nass snails, 20 ceriths, probably a sand sifting goby, and possibly a sand sleeping wrasse).
thanks!
