i agree no cc..... when i swapped my tanks over i also put my rocks in first and poured the sand around the rock i just used a measuring cup and slowly lowered it into the tank allowing the water to slowly cover the sand in the cup..... my tank was cloudy for less then 3hrs... dont worry about the spots you cant get at.... the critteres will push the sand there and the current will also move the sand around..... i didnt use all the sand i had that way if the sand moves and i dont like the look i can always add more....... i had the black sand in my first tank and it looked great for the first 3 months then it just looked very dirty and speck of anything white will show up on it if you go black make sure you have alot of sandsifters in there to keep it looking sharp.......
