Randy,
I have about 90 lbs of southdown sand sitting in a 45g tank that up untill 3 weeks ago was live sand. It has been sitting with no light and no circulation for 3 weeks. The sand has developed a strong oder which I believe is a sulfurish smell. The tank is a new system i wont be adding any life to for a few weeks.
My questions to you are;
Should I keep this sand and add a little dry southdown to it? (I'm shooting for a 4-6" deep sand bed, so far the 90lbs is only a couple of inches)
Should I start all over with the sand?
Thanks in advance,
Brett
