hello guys,
This is my issue, when I first cycled my tank (3 months ago) I put in my 28 gal nano cube 40 lbs of live CaribSea aragonite live sand.....but I made the mistake (newbie) to order the so called "Garf grunge" to help the cycling process, well this garf grunge was nothing but muddy rocks and detrius, now I cannot keep my sandbed shiny white because the grunge garbage keeps surfacing.....what I want to do is replace maybe 10 to 20 pounds of the front of the sand in the aquarium with 20 Lbs of the same CaribSea (I ordered too much when I first got my tank but I kept the extra 20 lb bag)
My question is, is this wise? can I just replace that much sand or will the new sand create problems to the parameters of the tank...right now everything is perfect, its just that it looks dirty.
I dont want to put the new sand on top because it reduces the living space and it leaves the grunge in there for it surface in a later date.
Thank you guys.
