Can I add more live sand?

[CarolineJ]

This might be a stupid question but can I add more sand to my BC32? I'm almost over (hopefully!) a gha battle and I've lost a good amount of sand having to pluck out pieces. I have hermits, 2 clowns, lawnmower blennie, 1 royal gramma and 3 trochus snails with live rock and live sand.

absolutely ok to add more.
Rinse it, slowly add it to make sure it doesn't get too cloudy.
There's a thread on here somewhere about how to to it.
I add more every other year or so due to the same issues you state.

Yes, you most definitely can!

I would just do it slowly, because disturbing a mature tanks sandbed can cause lots of problems you don't want to deal with, so just gently add little sections of sand to your tank.

Thank you!
