I didn't have enough the first time, washed the second batch at around 9:00, and I guess I didn't get everything out, and the water is pretty cloudy. I'm considering breaking down the tank again, rewashing the substrate and redoing it, since it seems like this won't settle.
they stopped making the charcoal sms. they now have turface which is close to the same. thats a good price for the turface it tends to be closer to 20-25. it is really dusty. i stopped washing it since it never seemed to do much good. what i do is put it in the tank fill the tank stir it around and wc a couple times. let the tank sit a week or two for the dust to settle.
