Hey guys I'm looking for an easy way to rinse my new sand. I've got 75 pounds to rinse. I'm familiar with the bucket method but that's a lot of sand to rinse this way and will take a long time. I've read a little bit on people using pillowcases in the tub. Anyone know how effective this is? Or does anyone else have a better idea? Appreciate any help
 
The pillowcase method works fairly well. It will work the best if you do smaller amounts at a time (wet sand is very heavy), rinse well, place in the tank, repeat. I havent found an easier method yet to accomplish this but I am open to suggestions as well! :)
