Thanks for the input teeka but its already a done deal lol. Yesterday i bought 2-15lbs bags of caribsea aragamax and 1-15lbs bag of aragalive wet sand. I rinsed the aragamax (evidently not good enough) and put it in on top of the aragalive. It was the perfect amount but i have been filtering the dust for about 15 hours and at 5pm i was able to see the back of the tank. I have alot of dust resting on the top of the sand. What is the best way to get that crude off the top without removing sand with it? i used a sock over the vaccum after i removed the dolomite and ug filter and that saved alot of water for me but i dont know what to do to remove that sludge on the sand.
Other than that, my livestock tank is doing very well and even my frags are doing great so im pretty happy over all. Comments and suggestions welcomed!
