Steps to using plays and in an aquarium
1 rinse
2 rinse
3 rinse
4 rinse
5 rinse
6 rinse
7 rinse
8 rinse
9 rinse
Think your done? Just to be sure do it again!

Thanks, I liked the sand a bit better but the coral is cool and the tank looks better in person IMO!

| It looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother didn't take my advice and used play sand instead of pool filter sand. He paid for it. About five 75% water changes and he still had a cloudy tank. Sorry you had to go through it. I guess we all live and learn.

| That is part of fish keeping I guess, I have learned a lot of what I know from trial and error and a lot of error.
