Hey all,
I’m using sand for the first time and I could’ve sworn I rinsed the sand out good enough. I think I was outside for probably 10-15minutes. Anyways, I’ve attached a photo of my problem. When I filled the tank (I tried to do it as gently as possible) this happened. It’s been like this for roughly a day. I have an old HOB that I don’t use to hopefully clear the muck a bit. Even then. There’s a fine layer of brown stuff (I’m assuming dirt) that settled on the bottom. I’ve decided to take a couple gallons out every so often and top it off. Any other suggestions on how I can clear the water and get the layer of dirt off the sand?
