put sand in tank,watter cloudy.

Hi changed gravel in tank for sand out of Argos,, looks good but watter is now cloudy, was that a bad idea,or will it be OK.

did you wash it through a strainer???????
terrible job took me hours..lol
it will clear eventully.
mine was still cloudy when i put the plec in but cleared now
patience

i gave it a wash,but just for 20 Min's,then i got fed up,had to move my bubble curtain it was making it worse.

the problem with sand is that its easily kicked up - as youve recently added ot - mainly pof the grains will have minute air bubbls geeping it bouyant.

Turn off air lines - keep filters off the bottom (or off if you can) and leave it over night - as said it will settle after several hours

will do thanks,PS osca going in tank with plec on Wednesday,will have to think of a name for both of them.

Now lets see.lol
