pillow stuffing?

[Dr Joe]

actually, i didnt clean it... damnit

Even better, test time is up.

Any oil slicks or dead fish?

I don't rinse mine. Can't see the use. If it's clean already, I'm just adding chlorine to the tank (cleaning in sink). If it's dirty, rinsing probably won't get it clean cause it's acting like a filter. It's usually what's called virgin material (all new) unless otherwise stated. I do check to see if it's oily tho (rub a paper towel against it and check the towel for residue, shows upkinda clear.

I do test it if I change brands.

And I am careful not to get opened packages.

The open rolls from the cloth stores are the only concerns.

How long should i test it before i can be sure its safe? The minnows are still acting normally...

Oh were you talking to me?

I dont see anything on the surface of the water and the fish seem to be acting normally. The fish have clear eyes and they are breathing normally...

the sand i used was self scoop outta a open bin

it was rather large grain, so maybe i could boil it

btw, i tested this out on a 2.5 with a crayfish

I called them and they said poly-fil is not sprayed with any kind of chemicals, but it doesn't hold a flame.

The minnows are still alive so i guess i will put some in my filter.

thanks for the help guys
