Re: Dry sand
Add water along the edges, like where the sand and tank meet. It will seep into the sand. Do you have anyone under molting?

Re: Dry sand
Try half a cup in each corner and go from there? The thing is, its totally situational so you really have to gauge it yourself and add an appropriate amount a little at a time.

Re: Dry sand
If no one is down, I would just get in there and mix it up well with water until it's where you want it. No worries of under or over watering that way.

Re: Dry sand
When I hand mix my substrate in buckets before I put it into the tank I use a small hand shovel, the kind for planting flowers. As long as all your guys are accounted for a shovel like that should make quick work of that. Just be sure you don't break through the bottom of your tote with it. Then you would really have problems!

Re: Dry sand
Still easier than mixing a double batch of pierogie dough by hand. (What?? It's that time of year again!)

I haven't had pierogies in about two years! No one makes them dairy free (vegan).wodesorel wrote:Still easier than mixing a double batch of pierogie dough by hand. (What?? It's that time of year again!)
