Setting up my 125 to cycle and right now I have a sand bed of about 1" across the tank. Will 1" be enough or should I go deeper?

Most definitely, I'll only turn the light on when I'm inspecting something in the tank. Will be lights out until I move the 40b over. Was thinking about using turbo start to speed up the cycle.If I were you...I’d leave the lights off for a while or keep them very low. Make sure you get your bio media in on day 1 with good bacteria products. Let the bio-film cover the rocks before you add a bunch of fish and turn on the lights. Or you can have headache after headache.

I was thinking about rinsing it in the tank.you don't have to pull it out, but I agree it would be worth the effort to get a good rinse. maybe down the road you'll get a sand shifting goby and it will stir it all up.
