Disclaimer: I am a greenhorn!!!!!!!
So anyway I am 15 and I just recently got a ten gallon tank to go beside my 40 gallon as a breeding tank for my platies.
So I decided to put sand in my tank last minute when I was in the pet store picking up supplies. Which is kind of beside the point. But anyway I went home and for some stupid reason I airheadedly forgot to wash the sand. I put it in poured Ina couple inches of water and... planted all 1000 of my grass seeds in the tank!
So the water is really cloudy and I'm wondering what I should do.
Those plant seeds took a month to come but should I just scrap it and start all over again? Or is there any hope that it will be ok in a few days? ...if it will though won't I have problems when I stir the sand up to release gas pockets?
As I said I'm new to sand and I haven't a clue what inspired me to forget to wash it.
Any ideas/advice?
Thanks!
