Hey there

I have a 50 pound bag of quickcrete's playsand that has been sitting under my deck for about a yr. If I wash it with boiling water and bleach it (1:20), can I put it in my tank??

I just want to put playsand in one of my caves for when I introduce the cory.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I actually have put boiling water in a couple of times, bleach 1:20, and now I just put it all through a strainer to get out any larger chunks of anything. It looks nice and smooth. I think the cories will really like it.

My next step is to let is sit in treated water ... I will also test the ph before I add it just to see where it is at.
