Hi all,
I have my tank (IM 25 lagoon) in cycling process (about a week in).
One of the fish I would like to get in the near future is one of those ‘sand sifting gobies’.
The current sand bed depth is kind of shallow (about 1/2”).
I have read that I might need to add more sand to the tank.
Do you know if I can add more sand right now (middle of the cycle) or should I wait?
Thanks,

Since you are still cycling i guess might as well add it now. You dont want to trigger another possible mini cycle when you have added livestock
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
