That I can order online? I'm setting up a 10 gallon tank for a blue dolphin hap. At the moment he's in a net breeder in my big tank. And I've been trying to clean some sand that I bought for about an hour now, but whenever I shift it around its just cloudy. Very annoying.

I didn't know you could just buy it at Home Depot. So its easy to clean?

yup. Jut put it in a bucket and use a hose to fill it and let it overflow. Stir it with your hand as it overflows to get small particles into the water column so they eventually over flow. After awhile the overflowing water should be clear and then you have clean sand :thumbsup:
 
Nice, I'll try it but I'll also pick up a bag of gravel just in case. I couldn't do it with the other sand I had. It would run clear, then I'd stir it and the water would turn black. When adding sand into the tank you do it just like gravel right, sand, then the water?
