    You can add sand by pouring it through a funnel, through a pvc pipe. This way it won't go everywhere. The problem with live sand is it isn't really alive by the time you get it. Also, for that reason, it can cause your tank to cycle, as your adding a lot of dead stuff.

    Yeah I was thinking that might be an issue. Oh well, time to exercise patience!
