DanS180 said:Hahaha!!! And u haven't had any problems?? Other than a diatom bloom?
Bearchumjs said:None at all. I've only had my nano up since August but my 55g freshwater has been running since the end of march.diatom are gonna happen whether you rinse or not. It's a silicate sand.
Mrc8858 said:Ya I'd just rinse to get rid of dust or small particles from packaging. This way it won't cloud so much when you add it and if it ever gets stirred up.
DanS180 said:I appreciate your honesty guys and like i said, i was iffy on it myself and as i stated "rough draft". i think im just gonna wait til my other rocks come in, then start from scratch. lol ugh i hate scapingg..
