How long does it usually take for play sand to settle in a tank?
It all depends on how much you rinse it first, and how much filtration you have. It took just under a day for me.
Well ill be putting a sponge filter in for the tank cause its going to be a breeding tank, and I didn't rinse very long maybe like and hour it took for 50 lbs
Not really it was still alittle cloudy but now I can probably see like 6 inches into the tank. I might change all the water tomorrow and pour it in one cup at a time
You can use something to divert the flow so as not to kick up the sand as much
So here are some pics after I did a 100 percent water change, sorry I forgot to take a pic before I did it...
How long should I wait to add my shrimp/ guppies?
No just regular play sand from lowes, why do you think it looks dyed?
