    hello everyone.

    i got my self a goby love the little guy but he throws my sand everyone.
    he puts it all over the rock and makes like hills.


    anyway i love what he has done to the rock with the sand. but he leaves a lot of the tank, with no sand.

    do you think i could add sand to a tank that is all ready up and running. it would be like 5lb of sand.

    Yeah,just thoroughly rinse the new sand in either ro/di or sw real good,use a piece of 3/4 pvc pipe to reach the bottom and a funnel to "control where you want it to go easier.
