    OK when I had fresh water you just took a new garbage can lid plastic - drilled holes and rinsed away your gravel. So how do you pre-rinse your sand or maybe you don't. Any help will be great. Thanks In advance.

    i put a small amt in a bucket, then run water through it while stirring it until the water clears up. Then rinse one more time with RODI water to remove the tap water.
