Default Initial rinsing of crushed coral
I will be setting up my tank this week and wanted to know if it was OK to thoroughly rinse the CC with plain tap water before placing it in the tank.

Thanks

I would skip the cc and go with live sand. I ended up taking out about ALOT, making a big mess, and wasting even more money.
Good luck!
