I got the sand I want to use as my cap tonight, and just started to wash it. I took a bag (it's country stone white play sand from menards if it matters, probably doesn't) and dumped it into a 5 gallon bucket that has a hose in it. I turned the water on just slightly to keep it from stirring it up too badly and planned on just letting the water enter at the bottom of the bucket, work it's way up through the sand, and slowly spill over the side if the bucket. Seemed to work alright, but I am noticing a fair amount of sediment build up on the shower floor, and since the sand is so fine I'm worried that this plan isn't going to work. How else can I clean this sand before it goes in the tank?
