Crystal Clear Water

Looking through the sides , my tank didn't clear up until my skimmer started working properly. It pulled out 3 full collection cups of yellowish gunk in a 24h period. Think it was substrate and dead rock residue that had refused to settle.
 
How bout the live sand needing time to settle down?

I was going to suggest a product called PolyFilter.. Its a wonderful product for pulling contaminants out of a tank and it doesn't leach them back into the water like some others.
