Mixing live sand.

[Fishfreak]

It's ok to mix live sand right? I got a 20 lb bag of Indo-pacific and a 10 lb bag of aragonite (not sure which kind looks just like regular except a little bit of white in it) Can I add the sand 1 day after setting up water? If not, when. BTW, I ordered both those books that you guys suggested me to get. They are on their way.

they will explain when to add the sand and many of the other questions you are asking, but yes you can add the sand a day after mixing the water, after checking to make sure your salinty is correct

You can add the sand after a day, depending how well its rinsed, the dry stuff, your tank might get a little cloudy.

 

[Fishfreak]

So you do rinse live sand?

 

[S.Reef]

No you do not...the dry sand is waht you rinse.
