[Dirty_Pond]

Hi guys, i need some advice here. I just started putting in the flourite in the tank. As it says on the bag I tried rinsing the flourite. The rinsing turened into a whole hour chore trying to clean it. As soon soon as I put in water to rinse the water turn really dark.

I figure it would be a little dirty/cloudy but I didn't figure it would be almost muddy. Is it supposed to be that way?

Well I cleaned it until water was just cloudy (couldn't get it all the way clean). Now I am wondering if I went to far and rinsed off all the nutrients away.

Please advice. I have 4 more bags of this stuff to go and want to make sure I don't mess this up.

Well i guess the damage is done with the first bag already in the tank. The next bags will get special massage.
