Tried to wash my repti soil with this method, been here for hours now, when will the water go clear? Help I’m so hungry and scared.

when i first started keeping fish and used play sand, i used to think that it was normal for the play sand to make the water like really dirty and that was mostly because i didn't clean it. of course i clean it now that im more expierenced and know more than when i was 5 years ago

I had no idea I should be washing sand!

What do I do in the winter ☹️ it’s too cold and snowy to use the hose in the back could I use the shower?

[deadarbok]

How long after washing the sand would you recommend waiting before adding it into a reptile enclosure? (Was thinking of doing this and mixing with top soil when it's done) :)

[shaunadomescik]

Oh man, I could've used this like a month ago 😅 My RES tank was so cloudy for so long

I know I’m late to the party but how do you dry it if it’s going in a beardie tank?

[spyrousn]

after you wash the play sand do you let it dry then put it in the enclosure or just put it straight in the enclosure

Hi I'm getting a bearded dragon in a couple weeks and I wanted to know do you do this too if you're going to make the top soil mixture with the play sand?

[wyguy]

I’d like to see some betta fish videos!

[jimmyridinger]

What if I bought quickcrete washed play sand? Is that the same stuff you’re using and you still have to wash it?

[loverguy]

Quick question. After my beardie (3yrs old male) poops, do i scoop out the poop ? And how often should i clean it out. I was thinking of making his tank half and half. Half tile and half playsand.

What about drying the sand for a reptile enclosure so that it doesn't mess with the humidity?
