(June 5-7)

June 5.
I stopped at Mission Pets and bought 120 pounds of sand. I came home and washed the sand. To wash it you cut a hole in the bag and put a hose into it and run off the dust. Man,good thing it was in the driveway, it was milky white and messy.
June 6-7.
I added about 100 gallons of water and 50 cups of Instant Ocean Reef Crystal Salt. The tank was extremely cloudy from the sand dust you don't rinse off. Hopefully it will settle out soon!
June 8.
A quick check of salinity was 1.030 so I added about 5 -10 more gallons of water and got it to 1.028. I bought an extra filter on my noon hour in case the water had not cleared up- it had so I can use this filter for the quarantine tank I need to set up.
June 9.
Time to settle in and see if we can maintain this!
