Yucky live sand

[EmilyB]

I tried to keep the live sand from the 15g in a critter keeper in my sump, since Ed wasn't ready to set up the tank right away.

It had good flow, right by the skimmer return, and a few nass, etc in there. My first real experience with the stinky black....eeeeeewwwwwww. I saw it going black in the last four inches or so. So I pulled it and threw it into a 10g just to see if I could save it.

I think the Sewer department has been calling me....lol.

I went over to the 155g and sucked up a bunch of four year old sand. No smell, and surprisingly enough, no dirt to speak of.

It still has worms alive etc. but I am shutting it down unless Ed comes to get it...
