this is specifically what to do

rinse the new sand in tap water however you want to do it / buckets in the tub rinsed clean, or outside with a hose, dont input silty sand make it snowglobe clean. last rinse is ro water, to evacuate tap.


2. decide if you are going to cap off the current tank's sandbed waste with new sand. adding rinsed sand will never hurt, its snowglobe clean and wont cloud. you have to decide if you're going to clean all the sand and add new, or add new to old which is fine but one day you'll just have to clean it/sand wont clean itself
