That is total BS😡 I washed this sand FOREVER! I’m so annoyed I just want to rip it all out😢 What type of sand did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I used pool filter sand in mine. I'm not too good with the different types of sand, but I've heard that in general it just take time for the cloudiness to resolve itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I thought of something else. If you are just using coarse sponge in your HOB and your sponge filter, you may want to add filter floss to it also. I found that coarse only was not enough to keep my water clear. This is the stuff I use, in addition to my coarse sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I just have a tiny filter only a 20 gallon long Edited June 14, 2022 by sweetpoison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Leave in as much as you can if you’ve started to cycle the tank. Or change out just part of it if you haven’t added fish yet @sweetpoison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetpoison Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Well I’ve been trying to cycle this thing for a week but I didn’t know how to throw in some ammonia. So I’m gonna do that right after I pop in the new filter plus. So should I take out my sponges and just use the filter floss because I’m going to add ammonia right after..
