It works fine? If that's your question haha just make sure you rinse it good

Yes rinse it well and it works great and looks really nice and natural

I just put some in one of my tanks and I love it!

 

[Zinnib123]

how long will it be cloudy ??

 

[BLUEaquarium06]

Did you rinse it? Mine was cloudy but not that cloudy, I'd give it about 24 hours before its perfectly clear

Large water changes will be your best friend to get rid of the cloudiness. When you put new water in make sure you don't disturb the sand or it could cloud up again depending on how well it was rinsed

I waited a couple hours for it to settle before I turned my filter on, next day it was a lot less cloudy but still cloudy. Then I did a 80-90% water change and it was crystal clear. I used a large mixing bowl placed on the sand to pour the new water into.

Ground gravel and play sand just set up tonight

I just put sand in my tank, it wasn't cloudy but I used kiln dried silica sand, the stuff that goes between bricks on a drive, looks great!

 

[Zinnib123]

Did mine this afternoon and still hasn't cleared up I'm Worried

 

[Zinnib123]

Might do a huge water change ?

I have done both play sand and pool filter sand in my tanks. From now on I will only do pool filter. Much easier to clean in the beginning. Easier to aquascape. Easier to vacuum poop. Play sand was also so light that it got in my filter. Play sand can be done. Just play sand be done. Just more work. Rather pay 10 dollars for fifty pounds of pool filter and save myself the work
