just want to know if you guys clean your substrate before you put in your tank? i got flourite substrate by seachem and it was recommended per instruction not necessary to pre clean them before put the tank. just add water slowly. that what i did and when i plant the plants or move thing around it get murky.. I'm so tempted to pull it all out and wash it. and it gonna be suck to pull out my DHC because i just planted week ago. but hate the fact it dirty.

i cant stand the dirt fly out when the algea eat move it all around so i pulled the trigger and empty the tank then wash it out.
Like i mention earlier i pulled the substrate out because i can't stand the murky water when fish move it around so i pulled the substrate and clean them. now my plants start to dying i got these low light plant made from topfin and some DHG that now is dying too. i check the water temp and it was at 80F some how! remember it was around 74-78F and i didn't have any issue then. I've been using florinmulti fertilizer by britewell it did pretty good job the leave was very green. I home these plants rebound now that lower temp and get some root tab.
