MysticReef Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm thinking of purchasing a JBJ 8 gallon. I have a Par30 over my 5 gallon, but the light doesn't reach the sides of the tank and I want something that will fit the 12"x12" light radius the Par30 has. Now, my question is should I use all new sand or can I mix some new sand with the old sand in my current tank. Also, if I do either of these options will it cause a cycle? Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I would ditch most the sand and replace it with just regular dry sand. Maybe keep a cupful of the old sand if it isnt nasty to seed the new stuff. Link to comment
MysticReef Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Now by replacing almost all my sand and seeding the new sand with a cupful of my old sand would this start a cycle? Also, just curious, but why do you oppose I ditch my old sand instead of re-using it? Link to comment
