I received this tank for my birthday. I've set it up with plans to keep shrimp and corals. I've always had large tanks, 150, 65, and soon a 125g. Not sure how much sand to put in the bottom of this tank. I have about 1 1/4" and am wondering if it's too much. I've always done deep sand beds, but this is such a small tank and I'm worried this may be too deep. Thank you for advising.

It seems to be just sitting there. Today, I added a few frozen bloodworms-I was feeding them to my bettas. Hope that helps the cycle. The tank is now about a week old. No apparent bloom of anything. The LED light is turned on at about 8. I switch it to the blue at about 7 and turn it off when I go to bed. Usually around 11 pm.

Thank you for asking.
