Setting up tank is this normal?

[Benhuan]

Hey all,
I just started adding saltwater to my tank. I use Red Sea coral pro salt and mix it in a bucket with a return pump doin 500l/hr at 20 degrees. The water is clear in the bucket (I mix for 40-1hr) and when I add it it turns milky. Is this normal see attached. And yes I did was the coral sand a lot. Thank you!

yes its either the saltwater is still not mixed 100% which is fine or that it picked up from the sand and made it cloudy. should clear up in a day or 2

Yes it most likely is dust from the sand and should clear once you start circulating water.

yes - are they at the places where you filled each bucket full? when you clean you glass they will be gone.
