Hey everyone. New to reef central even though ive been here to read things alot 
. I am also new to saltwater aquariums in general. I just started about 19 days ago. But i have done over several months of research. I bought a aquatop 24 gallon rimless tank package here is the link of the tank. So its been 19 days since cycling with 12 pounds man made live rock and a 20 pound bad of caribsea live sand. Im doing a fishless cycle and was thinking the sand and rock will cycle it. My main question is ive been having floating particles in my tank being.pushed around by the power head and.floating on the top of the water. I know its not micro bubbles and it really doesnt seem like the sand it being blown around at all. Ill post pictures ofmy tank. Im using just the standard equipment that it came with for the sump. Should i just change the sponge to a fine filter sock? I also would like to know of a good place for my power head for the best possible flow ive been moving it around but not sure if ive found the spot. I also have a marineland 150 watt heater in the back of the sump the tank has been a steady 76.6 to 76.9 the past few days . I also have a green machine uv sterilizer in the front of the tank. Ph is 8.2 ammonia less than .05 maybe even .00 hard to tell with test kit . No nitrite or nitrates. Anything else im missing just let me no. Sorry about the picture showing the particles it just looks like blurs on the top of the water. thanks for the help in advance
