My tank is about 2 months old and went through the cycling process. I needed more live sand so I decided to add the same caribsea live sand. I read the directions and it said gently mixed the old sand with the new. I noticed this morning my ammonia is at 0.25 ppm, normally it's at 0. Did I mess up by adding new sand and possibly killing my old bacteria?
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
