Chindo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hey guys.. I was wondering about used sand.. I have heard you shouldn't stir the sand up in your tank yet i see used sand for sale.. Wouldn't it be the same?(scratch) The reason I am asking is because i got a 180g tank and had to remove the sand to get the tank into the house on the stand. How would i go about reusing the sand? Just a good rinse or? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never rinsed this much just done a few lbs I used a thirty gallon tub and put about a third of the bucket in the container and used a garden hose... Don't tell anyone else I did that though..lol I did let it dry out for a few weeks after that though Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burningbaal Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 using ro/di water would make it so the dry time isn't as important... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
