Tank Clouded not recovering.

[vishal1107]

Hi Folks,
I have set up a new Marine Tank
4.5ft by 2ft by 2ft
filled with 0 TDS RP/DI water
using Aquaforest AF Rocks

Till rocks, water, salt everything was absolutely good

After I added Dead sand, I saw water clouded and that's pretty normal..
Note: I did rinsed the sand well for 8-9 times


its been 3 and half day at this moment, it should be gone in 24 hours and I am taking pictures everyday and I don't see any difference since yesterday.

What can I do

What can I do

Could be a bacteria bloom (carbon in a reactor will help) or maybe the sand is too fine for your current flow pattern?

maybe the sand is too fine for your current flow pattern? >>>I thought the same so I set the Jyre to run at 40% now still same.

Carbon >> I can try that

Some filter floss with help, if your not already using some.

What kind of sand did you use?

Using Aragonite sand
rinsed really well and last 2-3 rinse was with RODI
medium substrate, not getting disturbed with flow, as visible through eyes... some very fine particles that boosts cloud might be there..
