My tank is 3 weeks old. I have 100# of cured LR and added 25# of uncured 8 days ago. Not worried about cycling. I'll let it take it's time. I thought I was almost ready to add fish (NH3+ has been 0 for 5 days).
Today, my anal retentive self thought that the rocks just looked "dusty." I took a turkey baster and blasted everything within reach. A TON of stuff blew off. Mostly brownish, dusty particles, but some bigger chunks/plant material.
I believe I have adequate circulation and have a Coralife Super Skimmer going. Now, the water is understandably cloudy and clearing. My pure, clean substate now has particular debris on it.
Do I wait a day and blast my rocks again to make sure they are "clean"? Do I stir my sand and let the skimmer go to work? Do I just let well enough alone at this point, retest over the next 10 days or so?
