Hey guys,
I just recently had a tank made. A custom 2.5g. My question is this:
If I take 2.5 gallons out of my existing tank, only used cured live rock, but purchase 3 lbs of live sand, will the "new" live sand cause a cycle? Or will the existing water, and cured rock negate a cycle?
Thanks in advance!

if the live rock is from your existing tank also then there won't be much of a cycle
if it is recently purchased live rock then there will be some cycling
in any case I wouldn't waste the money purchasing live sand--just take a cup from the other tank and seed new argonite.
