    Not to worry my friend. Give it a day or two and it should clear up. Same thing happened on all 3 tank setups I did. Patience is key in this hobby.

    New SW generally is cloudy. Otherwise if your tank is actually cycling it is the bacteria bloom eating up your ammonia.

    Smile Hi Newreefman Welcome to RL!

    Just wanted to say HI and I agree with above...give a few days....may even take longer depending on the sand and if you washed it

    Hey all thanks. This has nothing to do with the sand. This isnt sand particles in the water column. It looks more like bacterial..thats why im worried.

    Naser...nice....I gotta see it. As soon as I get up and running you can bring it over to my tank.
    LOL
    hahah
