sand

[Chase31]

sand settling,
i dont think i washed the sand very well and my water looks really murky, should i wait it out till the morning to settle or is it time for some carbon?

it will settle, i wouldnt worry about it

[bvlester]

keep your water flowing and wait it should only take a few hours.

wow lol i added the carbon bag into my sump right by the intake after taking it out of my freshwater and rinsing it out :) just incase :p

[Chase31]

been like 4-5 hours ( i think) ill check in the morning hopefully it gets really clear :D i like clear water :p

[Chase31]

still kinda foggy, hoping its not my fault or hard to fix...

Running fliter floss really helps.

[Chase31]

i have some cartrages that have just a little floss would that work? just stick it really close to the intake into my sump?

I was worried about this too but it settled down in my new tank after about a day. I don't have a filter on my tank yet either.

yea well its getting there but the water is still a slight bit foggy

I found I just did mine this week, if you have a power head running turn it off helps it settle faster.

i turned it off to let the sand settle but it just looks fogy now
