The water is milky, not gritty… my pre-rinsing seems to have taken any fine particles. One of the first critters I wanted to introduce is a Snowflake eel and I’d imagine that it’d stir up the sand a little. I guess I’m afraid of it stirring up the sand frequently throughout the day and me not being able to view the tank for a week or so after the fact. Of note, I am currently using that tiny Fluval which is rated for tanks up to 40gallons… again, it’s only being used to clean up the dust (it’s the filter I use on my quarantine tank). I wonder if it’d be worth while for me to dish out the $150 for a filter that could handle up to about 200 gallons? With an eel, a lionfish, and other critters, I’ll have messy eaters… The bigger filter would allow me to better handle carbon, etc… if needed in the future? I see also on your FAQ’
