Adding sand to cycled tank

I have a 2" sand bed right now, I want to take and get some more sand and make the one side of my tank slope down from about 5"-3". I have a system that will basically clean my sand in a 5 gallon bucket before I put it in. Now my tank just cycled and I don't have much in it besides my CUC and LR.

Would it be safe to add sand to my tank?

 

Now seems like the ideal time to add it. If you test for water parameters and notice any elevation in ammonia just do a water change. If the tank was more mature I would advice you to add it in stages.

Good luck

 

Sand won't change anything in your tank, as long as it's clean, new sand. Worst you'll experience is cloudiness for a while until it settles.
