Adding sand after the fact question

[Dyspnea]

I use a long section of PVC pipe with a funnel on the top. I pour the sand into the funnel and if necessary, ill pour some tank water down the pipe to help flush it too the bottom and I then move the pipe around to the areas that need sand, very precise control to where it goes, and no sand storm.

ok well I wasn't going pour it right on him, but I was worried that if too much of a sand storm occurred it might hurt or kill him.

This is the best method I have found. if you use a large mouth bottle it will go way faster.
