So I set it up over the weekend.

I maintained everything stock at this point.

I added 30lbs aragonite
I added 20lbs of premium pre-cured live rock (selected pieces with lots of coralline)

I ran tests using API Marine Master Test kit

High Range PH - 7.8ish
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
Ammonia - 0
Salinity - 1.245

Here is what concerns me.....MY TANK IS COMPLETELY WHITE! http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif

Using my freshwater knowledge this typically means ammonio spike, but according to tests above it reads 0.

WHAT DO I DO HAHAHAHA

Here are some pictures:

Any ideas?

I think that's just the sand, you gotta let it sit for a while and then it will clear up. (Im not a saltwater expert, just letting you know haha)

I cant see the pics but it does sound like sand. It took my tank about 2-3 days to clear up. Did u clean the sand out b4 putting it in? If so that im at a loss. Whats your stock plan?

No...I mean not to be mean but I did clean the sand thoroughly before introducing.

Furthermore, the sand completely settled and the tank was 100% clear...then I got home today and noticed it like a cloud white.
