What fish did you order?
There was way too much sludge. After running 50+ gallons of water through it, the water was still coming out black. So I capped it with sand. I hope it doesn't leach too, but I am going to be watching like a hawk, and doing daily water changes anyway to clear the tank up. I didn't rinse the sand before I put it in. *facepalm*

Not tellin.

I've often thought people with old AS should cap it with something, sand sounds good.
I hope it gets to me next day as well, the weather is supposed to be cold next week.

It is working in my other tank with the potting mix, why not here too? *shrug*
