Has anyone used the ocean direct caribbean live sand and what are thoughts about using it??
The only comments i can find is from people whom bought it from Petsmart and one said it made the tank so milky looking even after rinsing it and their sand burrowing critters looked like they had smoke coming from them.
Would just like to know others thoughts about it.

Rinsing LS will do nothing except make it dead sand... really a waste of money to rinse it..
Just have to endure the sandstorm that will insue

Just heard from someone that has used it and they said it forms a very nasty foam.
Have a pico tank so no skimmer on it.

I bought 60lbs of this sand for my 55g and I don't see any kind of white milky look. It settled in a matter of hours, even when I add LR or move something a bit, nothing gets stirred up or anything.
