I hardly had to rinse the PFS I got at all. There weren't any fish at the time though.

Sand gives a much nicer look. On cleaning it there is good and bad news. The good news is that everything sits on top and is easy to siphon off. The bad news is everything sits on top and shows easily. Black sand looks nicer but at $25 for 20 pounds, play sand works real well.
