If you added sand, I'd give it a few days. Increase mechanical filtration until it clears, it will help. But it took about 4 days for mine to clear up. HTH

I agree, give it a few days. IME, nothing works better than a good skimmer to get rid of the cloudy water caused by the addition of new fine particle sand.
