[SteveZ15]

I have sand in my fuge about 3-4 inches i dont see the tunnels for the critters n worms..I am gonna do a wc and maintenance today I have a bag of live sand can I just add it on top of the sand thats there?

I think you may have enough sand in their but what are you trying to achieve? Is this a new refugium setup?

If you do add the sand just stop the flow through the refugium until all the and fines settle the turn the flow back on. It should not be an issue for the critters since they are prone to making new tunnels.

This is no sea monkeys just add water (sand). The process takes time. The crits have to be introduced, the flow must not be too strong, and well you just gotta wait fro them to establish themselves. Best thing you can do is take seed matter from your display (some sand, a few small rocks, algae, shells, etc), or filter pads are even better.

just add it a cup or two every two or three days. Give it a good stir each time. You'll be fine.
