Introducing sand to bb tank

[Jimbo]

Hi all, I have a question on placing sand in the tank. Been running bb but would like to have sand for a change. For the fellow reefers who may have done this before, how do u place new sand to an existing tank without disturbing existing rocks, corals? Thanks

Use a long big pipe (1” or larger) with a funnel onto and pour straight down to the tank bottom. Pour slowly and do segments by segments w/o stirring too much of the sand sentiments.

That is a good tip. Thank you for sharing this. Will have to be patient and go easy.

Not sure whether your parameters will swing if u introduce new sand into a stable system.
