As I have told others who want to use play sand.

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!

Well as I said I ditched the sand...here is a tanks shot with the crushed coral/medium gravel mix...

This is what it looked like when I first added it...



and today...

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.

:Thumbs:

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.
