Sand

[MaineSalt]

Starting my tank today I've read online I should rinse my sand before putting it in the tank. Is this true? Or can I just put it in straight from the bag? It's Natures Ocean live reef sand

Definitely rinse and repeat or else you will get a dust cloud in your tank for a day or so ( my mistake ).

Will do thanks

Are you just starting a tank? I would not rinse this sand as it's supposedly live and you will wash away the bacteria with your tap water.
dry sand must be rinsed.

Yup new tank. I have everything in and running. How do you stop your sand from moving around? I've moved my power heads a few times and it helped but its still moving some sand. I'm just afraid it will move it down to glass. Thanks

It usually calms down after a little time, but if not, then you may have too much flow.

Picked up some live rock and I think I got some passengers.
Just curious what are they? Hard to see hope the video helps.
