Adding Live Sand

[joejoe]

I am planing on getting my tank filled up tomorrow and will be using live sand. The bags the live sand came in have some water in them, and my question is should the water from the bags go in to the tank with the sand or should I drain the water out of the bags as much as I can and then put the sand in the tank? Thanks for any info.!!

Add the water in there too. It contains alot of beneficial bacteria in it that makes the sand live. hth
