i've been getting more serious about a bigger tank, and when i get my big tank i have many hopes. one includes to treat my fish of ich, and QT all new inhabtants. the other is do have a sand sifter (BSJ). in order to have one of those i came to the conclusion that i need sand small enough for them to sift. i currently have this in my tank, and it has some shells to show how big it is.

now i assume that any sand sifter cannot get that stuff in their mouth, and out their gills. so when i upgrade my tank i plan on using some sugar grain sized sand (non live?) and Marine Reef Aquarium Substrates: Arag-Alive (Fiji Pink). if i switched the sand beds when switching tanks would that cause a cycle?
Second Question:
could i add some sugar sized ( not live? ), or Fiji pink live sand to my current tank? i dont want to mix it in, because i want my sand sifter to be able to sift it. would that work?
