I've read the several posts about the pros/cons of BB/DSB/SSB and I've decided to go with a SSB. I have bought an established 8 yr old tank 75gallons with lr and a 2-3 inch sand bed with some sort of red algae growing on the sand. The tank is clear otherwise and has good parameters. I am not sure if the last owner changed or added to the sand. Now here's my question. I have a new 72gallon bow front that I want this SSB. Should I purchase new sand altogether, mix some new sand with the already established sand or just stick with the established sand. I know it's full of beneficial bacteria and I don't want to have to cycle my new tank but I'm not sure. Thanks
