Found out the hard way that adding sand to a cycled tank triggers another cycle... I didnt know this... unfortunately suffered a loss.... what happend was the following:
Levels spiked up after a week
Fish got stressed
Water changes didnt help
Ich
Havoc
$300 worth of fish down the drain
currently its stabilized and no fish show signs of ich however now my Naso tang is breathing a little more quicker than normal
Lesson:
DONT ADD SAND TO AN ESTABLISHED TANK..........
