How to Clean New Aquarium Substrate (Sand/Gravel)

In this video, I explain how to clean newly purchased aquarium substrate (sand and/or gravel). If you don't clean this properly, your brand new tank will be cloudy for a couple of days.

Please note that some brands of substrate are pre-washed. You don't need to wash this kind of substrate.
How to know if it's pre-washed? It's usually written on the bag, it's wet and more expensive ;)

There are a lot more informational videos coming up!
