That's brave! I've wanted to do that myself! How did you avoid getting a cycle, add bacteria? Let's see some pics when it clears!

In my opinion I think if your tank is very healthy and mature lots of liverock you should be fine. I'm at work right now but after work I'll take some pics of the tank hopefully it cleared up and everything is alright.

That's cool! Was thinking of doing it when I started the SH tank , a month ago. But got a crazy deal on special grade Seaflor so I didn't :/ look forward to pics!

Here it is as today water looks clear. This is not the final aquascape I just put in the rock last night cause the water was cloudy and going to move some corals around. But I LOVE THE BLACK SAND MAKES EVERYTHING POP!ILL NEVER GO BACK TO WHITE SAND AGAIN.

Looking awesome. First time seeing this tank, how many fish do you have in there, I think I counted 7. What kind of skimmer are you running?
Blk sand is cool and makes eeverythng pop but I stopped using it cause most of the brands I have seen including the ones I had in my tank (natures ocean, carib sea indo pacific) has magnetic grains. If my mag cleaner got to close to the sand bed, it would pick alot of it up and get stuck on the cleaner pad. I scratched the crap out of my glass a few times. It looks awesome but will not use it again in fear of long term issues with water quality and the magnetic flakes braking down over time. Im not talking sh!t, your ta k looks awesome just letting you hear my experiences with blk sand.

Thanks for the feedback didn't know that about black sand. No skimmer just do my weekly water changes. Hopefully nothing like that happens to me. Mite change it once a year to avoid problems going to do more research I guess we learn something new every day😀
