    Yeah, I would get new sand. It will save you a lot of headaches IMO. ;D

    I'm from waukesha county :) <3 and yes i think so i get my water from 'AAU=aquatics and unlimited' and 'PETCO' ( the pre mixed water and blah)
    And to answer the other person i did the best i could do on cleaning the sand and spent 3 days cleaning it. but ill say on 4/15/2012 it's 100% better the pH is good... the only thing i have is nitrate issue and i did another water change again to clean the sand even more and it looks like i said 100% better and now that i got the chemicals but i'm having issues with the temperature hahah right now but that will be a different story i guess (I have 3 heaters in there and can't get it to 86F - to get the Prime to work (that what i says on the bottle) my tank is always at 79+F do u think it would be okay to add Prime in there??? Or no?)

    86*F is high for a saltwater tank. You want to maintain around 79*F if you can. Prime should work just fine at this temp.

    Oh really? Aquatics used to be my fish store. Im only about 10-15 minutes away from there. Sticksmith is right on the temperature issue. Ive never used prime myself but I have heard good things about it!
