when i put the PFS in my tanks,i forgot to rinse both times,and there was no clouding. not suggesting the op shouldnt rinse,jusdt saying it might not take that longhope all goes well. just remember to rinse rinse rinse. It's going to take a loooong time rinsing. But, IMO, it's worth it. Soooo much cheeper than buying LFS sand. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
eco23 said:One thing to keep an eye out for on the sites I linked is the type of sand. I know many of the companies sell PFS "alternatives" which cost more and serve additional purposes in a swimming pool filter. I'm personally not sure with their compatibility in an aquarium setting. Both companies have great customer service. If you'd like, just call their 800 number...tell them you want normal PFS and they'll give you a price. They really are all about free overnight shipping so it won't hurt to ask

Can someone give me their opinions on this.. I know its play sand but would it work?? I'm having a hard time getting a hold of any local spa/pool stores to find what they may carry.
