The packets that come with the sand...I believe it is Caribsea's own brand. I also tried seachem clarity.

I don't believe so...when that stuff works it will make a foam around the waterline...the clarifier seems to have no effect on this stuff. Running a skimmer isn't an option right now because the new setup doesn't have sump or skimmer yet, and the eurobracing doesn't allow for my to put on my HOB.

did you mix saltwater or did you add salt directly to the tank.if you add alot of salt at once some will bond to your sand and will take longer to dissolve than if it were added in smaller amounts and dissolving before it hits the bed.

I dearly wish I could run my old fluval 404, but I can't get the POS to work. The hoses were cut for an old setup, and I can barely get the discharge pipe into the tank...the eurobracing doesnt allow for clamps..I tried for an hour to get it to prime and made a mess and had a minor meltdown in the process...
