Thanks Mike...I'd hate to be running around in a panic again like this..mike dunagan;2480705; said:
My first attempt at sand....

I admit it, I panicked...I ended up pulling all the Argonite out and using sand. I still have a bunch of Argonite that I haven't used, because no matter how much rinsing I did, I couldn't get it clear. Can't tell you how many times that tank got stirred and drained, even after I rinsed it really well. I gave up on it, at least for now.
what you do is rinse only a little bit at a time in a bucket until it clears in the bucket and so on, i use it in every african tank i have, it sucks to rinse but its worth it in the long run
hahaha... I have a bucket of it sitting in the garge too. I switched to matching PFS in all three 120s. I think I might put it in the fish room tanks.
I did only do a little at a time...but man, sand was so much easier! I'll do it eventually cause my husband wants a shellie tank, and I'll use it some of it for that, but it was a major pain.
I let you know how mine goes...As bad as it looked on Friday it is already looking really good. Once I do some vacuuming and water changes we'll see what happens.
