Default Looking (begging?) for Sand Donations

The dolomite I bought was Mighty White Dolomite. It is the only one they sell at Revy. I returned all of mine though (except for the bag I opened, because when I tested it in a small tank, it took forever for it to settle. If you just touch it, you couldn't see clearly for hours. Victor said that it will do this for the first few months, but after the bacteria grows on it, it will settle quicker. I didn't want to wait that long, so I bought silica sand instead. This stuff sinks fast and clears up in less than a minute. (However it is more expensive).

Within the first night, I could see the little worms in the sand against the front glass and now I am seeing quite a few bubbles. I am still adding the sand to my tank, as I don't want to add too much at once and kill whatever is under the sand.
