Gettin confused with the one person saying i dont have to and others saying i can use straight tap water haha
if its live sand then it has bacteria ( how much is questionable and what kinds) in it as well some die off , this does not need to be rinsed as you are planning a cycle.




if the sand was never live and is dry ( no liquid in the bag) then it needs to be rinsed as it has dust in it .
