adding more sand

[thetonyage]

so i have a 2 month old 125 gallon reef with about 75 pounds of caribsea live sand. i have 2 or 3 more bags of it i would like to add to the tank. is this a good idea? how should i do it? im thinking a pvc pipe to kind of place it ontop of the existing sand.

I am sure some one will think this is crazy or wrong but I have seen people take their bags of live sand clean the bag very good and then put it on the sand bed of tank to open it.

I like the pvc idea. I would turn off the water pumps, place the sand in a container, turn the container upside down before entering the water, then bring the container to the final location and let the sand slowly drop to the spot. Repeat.

would all the dust floating around this would cause affect my fish or coral?
