Greetings! I've heard rumors of an "official sand rinse thread." Would someone be so kind as to send me the link?

Thanx!
 

Best of luck :)

Hey what’s the job at hand curious, big vs small job?
 
Nothing is more fun than a live time job right here, just hammer our a before and after setup / so fun / big money on the line at times too, high stakes game
 
quick summary: if you dont pre rinse the bagged caribsea sand, then it'll probably clear in a day or two. per page one of that thread, some dont clear, that's the choice set regarding pre rinsing. anyone who pre rinses uses up some tap water and gets an absolutely laser clear start, 100% of the time. the last two threads from non rinsers posting concern about the initial cloud cleared up in two days though, = the majority will. some bags carry more silt complement than others, don't know why. I think its shipping and holding variances that grind down the grains more than other bags, not sure
 
how could any well-rounded, fair summary of options omit the sheer possible worst case outcome warned by all non prep rinse advocates: THE BACTERIA DIED

I definitely plan to rinse with tap water, probably using a paint stir paddle. Debating a final rinse with RO/DI
