Trying to clean sand

Eventually, the grains may wear the impeller, but thats a long way off and sand will be much better for your fish. Good external filters should never be effected as the sand grains will be filtered out before they reach the impellar chamber. I have used sand for more than two years on an internal filter though, without problems.

i actually washed my sand this time round...

wacked all 45KG of play sand in a big buckek filled the bucket with water swirled it around sometimes pouring all the water out sticking the hose in turning over the sand and within 25 mins (slow flow rate :rolleyes: ) i was done and if you check out my "New tank" topic in members pictures thats what it looked like straight after i filled it
