Ah.... thanks for the link. I would go with that deal but I got a different idea for my next substrate. Will keep that in mind though.
um oh no! i was going to use seachem black flourite sand or gravel ( not sure yet ) in my 10 gallon tank main focus are plants ) .. is it really that hard to get clean???:eek3:
It all really depends on how well you rinse and how you fill after putting it in the aquarium. I would suggest micron filtering after filling if it is too cloudy. Otherwise it should clear up in a few days.
Filling slowly and carefully is your best bet. In my 20H I fill so slowly that sometimes you can see a distinct separation in the new water and darker water on the bottom(tannins from driftwood)

I just setup my 75g with 3 bags of eco and a little bit of flourite, i wish i hadnt added any flourite, my water has been cloudy for 2 days since filling it, and the smallest disturbance in thw substrate causes huge clouds to come out of the flourite, even after i washed i thuroughly!!!
im gonna have to rethink this..... i was going to put it in a 10 gallon,with no fish for a while.. but will the flourite make the water cloudy EVERY time it is disturbed? so like every time i add a new plant or water change it will be cloudy for days?? filter i have is a marineland biowheel 150 ( good for 20 gals )
