<> Thanks so much! Ryan Mullinax <> -Sand and bulkheads- – 5/7/2006 Hello crew! I have two situations today that I hope you can help me with. Situation number 1: I’m starting up (another) new tank, and I am using Nature’s Ocean fine sand (not live sand). I didn’t realize it until I had already added it, but I’m supposed to rinse this stuff. Now the water’s all cloudy and full of gunk. Will this settle in a day or two, or do I need to empty the tank, rinse the sand, and start all over? I don’t have enough salt at the moment to do that, so I’d half to wait a day or two regardless. Maybe running a filter on it would help?
