Filled my tank finally last week. Added about 15lbs of aragamax sand and about 10 lbs of that stupid walmart crap. It was a little browner then i expected but that crap wont settle down in my tank. Its been going for about five days. I even through a HOT Magnum on the back and it fills up so quickly that the water stops flowing through it. You guys think I should just take it all out and start over?

I set up one tank already and left the filter running and the sand settled in a matter fo a couple of days.
yeah just turn the filters off for a few days but i dont see the point of getting wal mart stuff(dont know what its like we dont have wal mart) when you knew it was hopless?? or didnt you know??
