Hey gang,
I think I made a mistake when I added my sand. It is day 2 and still very cloudy (milky) with no signs of going away. I dont think i rinsed the sand enough. (it is very fine sand.) I have been running my filter without any media content. should I add it now and let the extra cloudyness get caught up in it? I know that there will most definatly be very fine particulate still embeded in the sand. I assume that any attempts at vacuming the sand with animals in the tank will be disastorus. Is this a normal thing with fine sand? should I be worried? should I start over and re-clean the sand in a bucket? (the bag says that outside filtration will take care of the clowdiness but I am skeptical.
thanks.

p.s. should I start my protien skimmer?
