That mixing paddle was the MVP. Awesome tip. Wish I still owned a corded drill.

[faedoyle]

Man, thank you so much for these tips I was about to loose my mind over this sand stuff.

[COOPERSCICHILDS]

Thumbs up buddy i did mine by hand but i like to play inn the sand lol and i did 3 bags of it I'm running close to 45 tanks now getting ready to set up a couple off 90gallons and a 210g much respect

Nice info. I just start my first aquascape with red cherry shrimp, neon tetra and zebra fish. I like RCS... YNWA

[Bourbon_Bound]

Thanks for the tip! I’m going to do this tomorrow, for my new turtle setup.

[Wabbajacked-bgnc]

thanks for the video. did this today. Seen aquarium sand for 7.99$ for 5lb at the pet store and said no way.

Love your early American dorm room decor :0)

This video is great for those who want to do more for less! I am one of those people and use a lot of pool filter sand! The Home Depots that are around the area I live in don't carry the pool filter sand. I have to goto a pool supply store to get it. It is about $12 for 50 lbs which is still cheaper than buying aquarium sand.

You say zeolite will poison fish. However, I recently took a materials chemistry class, and we discussed that zeolite is simply a heavily microporous material similar to activated charcoal. Are you sure it will poison the fish? I believe you, but I'm curious for any additional information you can provide. Thank you!

Very interesting! I'm thinking about this sand next tank. I plan on upgrading to a 75 and have better scape and fish options

[soggyfries]

Great video sir! Really cleared up (no pun) any confustion I had.

[wyzemann]

My kind of DIY, everything is inexpensive and quick/easy implementation....THANKS, Jadren Aquatics!

[dlealchicago]

Damn! Can't beat $5! Wish I saw this last week. Do you fertilize to add plants? Any vids on that if so

[DebTim]

Great Video.. I only use pool filter sand by Fairmount Minerals and it's pristine.. no cleaning needed and non cloudiness!! This is great info.. well done!!

[AngelosFishTanks]

Nice tip man.. mix the sand interesting 👍

[redeclipzegsx]

I bought this exact same sand from Home Depot for my turtle thank you for the tutorial! Question! After cleaning the sand, would it be easier to put the sand in an empty tank first and then add the water afterwards? Or is your method recommended

[deldeek]

Howdy, is a 50 pound bag enough for a 55 Gal tank ? So thrilled to start putting my new tank together, thanks for the video

[akhileshthapa_fishbro]

Just the thing I was looking for. Was wondering if bare bottom tanks would be ok for Corydoras. I feel everyone suggests having some amount of fine sand substrate for Corydoras. Cheers.

[erichays]

I’m thinking of doing this for my pigmy puffer tank with plants. I currently have gravel in there. Will this work ok? I was going to go with a plant substrate but sand is better for my budget right now.
