okay! thanks for all of the help.... like i said i already have about 4 or 5 nassarius snails, and i have already seen them trucking around in the sand...I ditched the old carbon i think yesterday, and i refilled the bag with fresh, so it should be there in case things start acting weird...I think after this thing settles down i'm not even gonna run it anymore... I might get some Amquel....chemical stuff scares me though....

So, should in about a week or so should i add maybe another 1/2" of sand or leave it where its at now? I would guess total depth now is about 2.25 to 2.5" deep.

Also for emergencies, I use Cycle by Nutrafin.

It helped me out a ton when I had ammonia and nitrite spikes. It puts more bacteria in the system, and stimulates the existing bacteria to help get rid of the harmful stuff, fast.

Wait about another week or two to be safe, and make sure your levels are okay before adding anymore sand. Don't overdo it either.

A patient reefer will be a happy reefer!

i picked up a couple of blue legged hermits and a few more nassarius snails... I also inquired about the bristleworms and they said that they would try to hold some out for me but whenever they found them they usually fed them to the arrow crabs...
