Okay, so I apologize if this is a silly question, but I need to ask it because I haven't read it anywhere else.
I have an African Cichlid tank with about an inch of extra aragonite sand at the bed. This tank has been running forever now and was properly cycled from the beginning, thus I have had next to no problems with ammonias and the beneficial bacteria built up is likely substantial.
So what I am wondering is, would I be able to syphon out about 20lbs of this sand, mix it in with the substrate I choose for my soon-to-be reef tank to help get the cycle going? Or would the addition of salt kill the beneficial bacteria in the aragonite sand, altering it useless?
Once again, I apologize if this is a silly question, but I thought I would ask.
