I just finished my tank for now with sand and minimal decor for the time being. I have a goldfish in a fairly large tank. Im new to the whole sand thing so I took every precaution I could. I used play sand from Lowes and did lots of rinsing of the sand. Let everything sit overnight before I turned on my pump/filter setup just to make sure I wouldn't get any sand in my canister and ruin the thing. My fish is in the tank now and he's been staying pretty low for a while swimming all around. Im just concerned about the sand getting into the filter. He will dart back and forth quite a bit and stir up the sand some...nothing big but should this be something to worry about with getting sand into anything??? I really don't want to ruin my filter/pump setup.
Thanks
