I bought some Sea Gull pool sand which also says it is for aquariums. The bag says it is washed, triple-screened, dried and sterilized. should I still wash it several times before I use it?
 
YES! Rinse the holy heck out of it! And when you think you are done rinse it once more. It is a time consuming task, but you will be well rewarded.

man y'all weren't a-wolfing. I put about 10 pounds of sand in a 5 gallon bucket, I bet I went through about 50 gallons of water swirling and swishing the sand around in the bucket, drain and repeat until it ran clear.

thanks all
