    Alright so, I think I may have a slight problem... I want to add some more sand in areas of the tank that look pretty low and I already have 3 fish...

    Is it still possible to add sand???

    Thanks for your input!:)

    Yes it is still possible, but it will cloud the tank up.

    The best way to do it, is put the new sand in a plastic bag, sink the bag of sand, then either pour it out of the bag, or even better cut the back open to get the sand out of it. The least amount the sand falls the water, the less clouding you will get.
