I'm going to be using about 5lbs of my old sand for seeding this stuff. I would really like to use straight sugar sand which I now use in my tank right now. I keep reading that people have huge sandstorms using the Vortech MP40s. I have never once had a sandstorm in my tank now using 2 and 1 MP10 at 100% but it must just be from the curvature of the half circle glass. So i'm not taking any chances since i'm going to a rectangular tank and will be running 4 MP40s on it. My last rectangular tank was 5 tanks ago.

Let the rinsing begin.
I guess a lot depends on how open the aquascaping is. I had sandstorms even with heavier sand but eventually the sand gets tired of blowing around and settle in

So did you enjoy the rinsing part?
