Question - I have a nice, established 20 gallon cube that I am shutting down and incorporating into a larger tank. I'd *like* to move the sand from that tank into the new one, to help with cycling, not let the critters die (just discovered a thriving and horrifying spaghetti worm this week, which was fun), etc.
Is there a downside to putting the old sand on top of the new sand, even if the old sand may have been at the bottom of about two inches of sandbed in the previous tank?
I very well may be overthinking this - I just don't want to miss something obvious and then, oh look, everything in the old sand died off.
Thanks!
