I finally gave up with waiting for Home Depot to get some tropical play sand and made the trek out to Sudbury to Russels Garden Center to get me some. From what I gather, we seem to be causing this stuff in high demand! The woman at the counter looked at me and said "You're from that fish club, aren't you."
Anyway, just a quick question. As you've probably guessed, I'm wondering if I should've taken the time to have rinsed off the sand. The more I look at my refugium, the more I think I should've done it. It would be easy enough to do while still in the refugium, so I'm not overly worried about it, but I'm thinking about replacing some sand in the main tank and that could be a serious problem!
Oh, yes, and I do realize that the water will eventually clarify again, it was the foam that took me by surprise, that's all. Thanks for the input and to the people who found out about Russels!
