Orange Crush Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 what's a test kit? Run your HOB empty. Only put stuff in it when you really need to. Floss is for the most part unnecessary, though when you first put in the sand it might cut down on the time it takes for everything to clear up. Link to comment
