I put in some tetra safe start. i will actually be adding Earthworm probiotics, just have not gotten a chance yet. The substrate is black diamond blasting sand.
I have not done a water change since setting up the tank (about 2 weeks) and will start in the next 1-2 days. I will be adding the probiotics and cleaning the glass. Will see how that helps. I have a feeling I just need to do some water changes to get the "dust" out. There is also that other product I posted that is suppose to help fine dust particles to clump together and have filter media pick up instead of passing through.
