Just wondering as the water in my tank is still brown although it is not sand but rather debri from the rocks. Does this bother the fish or are they ok.

Fish are still currently in the sump and I think I will try and return then tomorrow morning if the tank has cleared up enough. Also pending on some results from this post.

Josh, run your tank over night with the skimmer (if you have one) and pop the fish in when you can see the rocks. The only concern would be the fish panicking and swimming into a rock or the glass if it was really soupy in the tank. If you can see the outline of the rocks, they should be fine.
When I upgraded, everything went back in as soon as the rock and water were in. Everything was fine. Don't worry so much :D

I have done this a number of times (more than I want to count), and always had the fish in cloudy water. There was never a problem. I usually run an Aquaclear for a day or two until the water clears. Don't worry, be happy. :D :D
