I guess this is equipment... I didn't see anything else that fit, so I'll ask here.
I'm going to be adding Nature's Ocean to my tank (140 lbs of it). I've read mixed reviews about pre-rinsing it. According to the manufacturer, it shouldn't be rinsed and should be added directly to the tank. They also say you don't have to cycle a tank used with this sand. Yeah, I'm still going to give it a good cycle. The majority of reviewers said to rinse it anyway, but others said that'll kill the 'good' stuff growing in it.
Anyway, reviewers were about 50/50 on those that still rinsed the sand and those that didn't. I decided to follow a link on Nature's Ocean website to a show called Tanked that uses their sand, and in the episode I saw, they didn't rinse the sand or cycle the tank. Unless they skipped that part during filming, it looks like they just dumped in the sand and added a bazillion large fish.
So my question... to rinse or not to rinse...
