I just picked up another 75g for a steal. I am a huge fan of naturalistic tanks and decided to try sand for the first time.
I picked up 150lbs of play sand and searched the forums for info.
The exact info I am looking for is how to clean it before putting it in the tank. Do I put some in a bucket and just rinse for an hour or so? What exactly am I rinsing out of the sand? Smaller particles or dust?
For those that use sand already, approximately how much sand will cover the bottom of a 75g 2" thick?
From reading old posts I know I am in for a long rinsing process, but I need a little more info on what exactly I am rinsing out and exactly how to rinse it.
Thanks!
