tank still cloudy from sand

[makeshift101]

So I have had the sand in my 120 for about 3 weeks now.
I never rinsed live sand before on my previous tanks so I didnt do it with this sand.

If i turn off the pump and powerheads the couldyness goes away, BUT as soon as I touch the sand bed its completely cloudy for the next 24+hrs.

It was suggested to me that the fine partials dont have enough time to go through my polyfilters and what not, so ive been running everything on high.

This cleared it up until I moved the media filters and moved the powerhead...couldy once again

I feel like this will be a rinse and repeat ordeal every time i remove the filtermedia it gets cloudy:deadhorse:

I have to many things that mess with the sand bed when I move everything over, so this needs to be taken care of

Mix it up daily as much as you can- all the way to the bottom- while running filter floss.

If you can bubble some CO2 that would work really quickly as well.

I would say turn the powerheads on full blast. Slow down your return and let it flow through some thick filter socks. If it subsides reposition the powerheads and repeat until it clears up.

The other option would be to pull the sand but I don't think you want to do that because you are asking for advice on how to clear it up.
