If it is a new tank, you dump the sand in and then cover it with a large
black garbage bag , that has been poked with tiny holes. Put a inverted
plate in the center and slowly add your water pouring it onto the plate.
As the water rises so will the bag. At this point you can remove the
plate and continue to slowly add water. This will greatly reduce the
milkshake effect. HTH


I see, so there IS a possibility of washing away the argonite if you rinse
it?
