New tank

[wattsd]

Hi all! I have literally just finished putting the water in my tank and I already have questions. I rinsed the crushed coral at least five times before putting it into the tank but the water is still cloudy. Is this something that my filter system with clear up or should I empty the water and start over? I am using a twin bio-wheel filtration system with activated charcoal. I know there are certain chemicals which you can add to the water to remove this cloudy material but I would rather not put anything in there that really doesn't need to be.

Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone has any other helpful hints for maturing the tank I would love to hear them.

thanks

wait till morning - i bet the water cloudiness will clear up by then. I used cc in my 30g and it cleared quickly (24hrs).

But you know, now that my tank is established, I should have gone sand instead of the high maintenace cc.

Good Luck
