Sand Bottom? VERY CLOUDY

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The sand in my tank only took a couple of days to settle, but i rinsed it before i put it in the tank. My python sucks up some sand, but not too much so maybe a water change will help you.
 
I left my filter on after adding sand. I also have a aquaclear powerhead with the filter attachment. My water was clear within 15 minutes. I rinsed my sand for a good 10 minutes before adding it, I think that helped out.
 
its better today. todays is actually day 3 with the new sand.

still cloudy though??? no where near clear

6-7 days? damn. would water changes help?

also. in the future when doing a water change. and i wanna stir the sand up before hand would it take the same amount of time for the water to clear?
