Cloudy Water?

[PorterK]

Hey guys! All is going well since my last post! I added the RO/DI water with salt and everything is good now. I added some clarifying solution that came with my live sand to the water and it was crystal clear today. The only problem is I just moved the rocks around and the water is cloudy again.

Should I just buy more of the clarifying solution or will it clear up on its own quickly now?

Thanks!

Should clear up naturally. Just let it settle.

Thanks for the quick reply! Will let it all settle.

Do I need to turn off the powerheads/filter?

In this hobby a hard learned lesson is to wait. Do things small, as far as changes. And Im learning to document. That way you have a history to look back on if something goes ****

Leave em on! When a fish stirs the sand do the waves stop? Nope! It’s roll tide, roll! My bad... shameless dig at LSU

Thanks! The first time I dealt with the cloudiness it was from precipitating salt water and didn't clear up over the course of a week, didn't want to wait forever if it isn't going to clear up on its own!
