I recently broke down a fish only tank. I put all the live sand in a bin with a lid and water on top.
this was like a week ago.
will that sand all be fouled out now?
or is it still "alive"?
I know the bags of sand they sell you in the pet store in bags are technically "alive" with the beneficial bacteria.
my current configuration of sand in a bin with water on top with a lid is roughly the same idea I would think...
I just dont want to set my tank up to fail by using "dead sand"
the bin with sand and water has not been heated either.
