Cloudy Tank

[cyeater]

I have just put sand and ro water from LFS in tank (setting up) I was only able to bring home 35 gallons today, I rinsed sand, and starting adding water, I was wondering if I should run a powerhead for any reason or just let it sit with nothing running, it is a 75 gallon tank, I plan on returning to the LFS tomorrow to get the rest of the water.

Thanks in advance

I know it will be cloudy, just really wondering if I should have some sort of circulation ie. powerhead

you can circulate the water and it should clear up by morning as long as the power heads are not stirring up the sand on the floor

let it sit. when u have the rest of the water...let the tank sit for 3~4 hours.....then turn everything on........
wait one week, then add a small LR and some food source.
wait 4 weeks. You will be cycled

agree, one thing to always remember in reefkeeping, "only bad things happen quickly"
