Cloudy water after putting in salt

[yeahcheetah]

I am poor and lazy. So I set up my new 50G tank with tap water and dumped in the salt mix (IO). Then I found the water became cloudy. I think this is caused by precipitation of phosphate by Ca2+ or Mg2+ but not sure, as I could not detect phosphate with my test kit. There is nothing in the tank right now but salt water. Is there anyway to clear the water?

just run the pumps and filters it will clear up over night... or atleast that is my experience when I used to use Tap water

IO tends to be cloudy when you first mix it. Like Matrajeous says, it'll clear up overnight.
