cloudy tank HELP PLz

[Venaman]

my tank is now cloudy. .
i put sand in it which would explain, but i cleaned it pretty good and when i threw it in it obviously went cloudy. But its been 24 hours
should have cleared up at all yet?

when do u think it will clear up

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.

No it wont clog anything at all....its the best piece of hardware you can use for cloudy water......(well for introducing sand).....it will do other wonders for you as well....like cleaning out the the fine garbage particles that is in your water.....lol...
