Anyone ever use this sand before.. and just add fish after u add sand and the murkyness cleared up

Never used it before, personally I would let the tank cycle properly. It's not worth risking the health of the livestock.

Willing to risk it?

Never seen a tank without rocks. Sand might be fine, but you WILL get a cycle.

Maybe it's time for patience. It's free. Seeing a few issues you have posted, looks like you could try the normal route and do a proper set up and cycle instead of looking for an instant tank.

More research instead of trying the "easy way out"

Jay you posted the same as me.

Too many lazy steps available to those who refuse to actually research things first.

I know it's hard to resist but take your time, this hobby is all about research and patience.

Personaly i like feed back from other ppl. What u don't think i would wait three weeks.? I did on my last tank and my firend can say he help with 2 years exp setup the last one and if u wanna know what happend to my old tank I added 3.6 pounds of rock that had stuff dieing in the rock. Thats a different story, And I do research my stuff.

I will not offer any other experience since you don't require it.

If you read everything, I corrected myself soon after. And apologized.

Hope your research goes better than that. Lol.

A good cycle is 4-6 weeks by the way.

GOOD luck.
