im not sure about sand, i put some in my guppy tank and its a paint, try about a half inch of gravel. everything else sounds great! 2g is more than a betta could ever ask for

But how are you cycling it without a fish? Are you pouring ammonia into it or something?

Your setup sounds fine. I don't think there will be any problems with sand, but I've never actually had a Betta in a tank with sand, so I'm not sure.

Enjoy your new Betta!

sand is great. when you first put the betta in there, he might try to eat the sand...but most of them spit it back out
