Im in the process of moving into my first apartment and i saved the tank for last. Im moving the 75gal tank in which I have had pool filter sand for about a year or so. Now I have moved around the sand before because I know it traps bubbles. But im just about to get the last bit of sand out and I noticed its turning grey or black. Didn't know what it meant. If its dirty or what. Anyone experience the same? Just want to make sure if I should use it again or not. I havent had any problems with the sand other wise.
Thanks.

Did you have live plants in the tank? This used to happen in my planted tank if roots rotted under the sand.
