Worst part of the hobby

Added sand and started running everything (put in some LR too) so that the water gets cleared up within today since I plan for the big day tomorrow

A little trick I use when I add substrate which can result in the picture above is use a HOB filter for a couple days. Around the filter media fold over a paper towel and every 30 min - 1 hr change the paper towel out. Works like a charm and been doing it for years. I'd rather get the small fines out of the tank than just let it settle.

^^ Yup an Aquaclear with some fine filter media takes care of that pretty quick. Then you don't have residual crap left in your tank somewhere (skimmer, socks, sand etc.)

Kinda the thing I did but with sponge. Since my tank is eurobraced, I can't hang any filter so decided to put some sponges between the bubble traps.

I don't think its mainly because of the sand because last night when I went to bed after mixing the salt, the water was kinda clear but then after waking up in the morning, it was all cloudy. Probably because the temperature went above 80 or something.

if you mixed the salt water in cold water then heated it up its prob salt residue , going from cold to warm tends to make it encrust or its the calcium in it going from cold to warm, either way a good scrape and some flow it will clear up quickly

looking good brothar!!

actually no, this would not be the worst part of the hobby :-) Just a minor inconvenience compared to many many other worser events that can occur.

edit: specifically an addiction to the Canreefs. (or is that just me?)
