Help! I buried two clarifying packets!

Last 10 bags I’ve bought didn’t have the clarifier bags

Haha! I'm betting it won't be an issue. I'm sure that's happened quite a few times

That’s a genius idea even though I don’t have a cat and if I did I wouldn’t use the old one haha. I hadn’t thought about that. I though about an aquarium net but I knew that wouldn’t work lol. Time to go to the Dollar Tree or Five Below lol.

I don’t know how genius it would end ..
knowing the sand wasn’t rinsed.
You will stir everything and make it very cloudy

Yup I learned they phased them out and mixed it in already.

LOL! They didn’t end up having them in it.

Even better. .
Hopefully you didn’t stir the sand looking prior to noticing they didn’t have the packages

Nope and it was newly set up so it didn’t really matter!

The last few bags of their Ocean Direct version I got about 3 months ago still had the clarifying packets included.

I started my tank up with this.. clump after clump of special grade by hand to make the bed. I really don't recall seeing a clarifier packet in there. I also didnt rinse before hand! There seems to be a huge divide between the pre rinse and no rinse camps

I'm about 11 days into my cycle, no livestock yet and the BB seems to be working well. I'm wondering if I should hit the whole set up with a rip clean in an effort to excavate this clarifier packet or should I continue to let things work along?
