How do I add Aquaforest Bio Sand to my aquarium?

Sand residue emerges during the transport and its perfectly safe for your aquarium, though, in order to avoid water turbidity we strongly advise to rinse the sand in RODI water before use. Pour the contents of both bottles into 3 liters of saltwater, mix thoroughly, add to the sandbag and leave for 24 hours. To allow bacteria multiplication, do not close the bag. We do not recommend storage in cool places, as it significantly increases the time of bacterial multiplication. The optimal sand maturation temperature is around 25-28C. After 24 hours the sand is ready for use in the aquarium. Add sand gradually into the tank (small amounts day by day) and monitor parameter changes.
