How to set up a DSB?

[EvanH]

Hi all,

I can't seem to find a real good guide as to HOW to set up a dsb? I saw southdown at HD the other day, and picked up 100 lbs.. i've got a 42 gallon hex tank..

is the tank set up and running? if so, turn off all powerheads filters, etc. what i did, is, rinse the outside of the bag off in fresh water. cut one corner of the bag, and submerse the whole bag into the tank. let the water seep in for a few minutes, then slowly lay the bag flat on the sand. so the sand slowly slowly seeps out. the slower you do this, the less cloudy your tank will be.
