How long has it been with filter running?

 

[jessdore]

I havent put in the tank yet. still in my 5 gallon buckets. I just wasnt expecting it to look so dark. Because most of the other pictures of it looks almost white.

Ah I thought you mean water was cloudy. Quickrete make play sand I don't think pool filter sand. I think that's what u have. Pool is very white. And play is brown.

 

[jessdore]

Ohh will this be safe to use.

Yes as far as I know. I have some mixed in w my pool sand I used just to get rid of it. Pool Sand is like 10 bucks a 50lb bag so it would only cost 20 or so to swap depending on tank size if u like the white look better. Not sure what you're setting up exactly but if you do white Texas holey rock as decor I think the darker sand would look great!

My pleasure. Feel free to pm me if you wanna ask questions. This thread probably isn't the best one to ask. The moderators must be asleep! You can creat your own in the cichlid discussion forum.

Depends what kind of cichlid. More you have or the bigger the fish are, the more filtration you'll need. 25 is probably the max though for mbuna & peacocks without it looking outrageously clustered.
