i finally got to fill up my 55 gallon tank that i bought after christmas. i rinsed the sand but i dont think i rinsed it good enough. my water is now very white and cloudy and when it starts to look clearer i can see a white dust forming over my black sand. i put on a small filter that i had lying around to help clear it up. i was wondering if running my actual filter (penguin 350b) would be ok and clear up the tank. i didnt want to run it becasue i wasnt sure if the white cloudy water would be bad for the filter. i mixed all the sand up with my hand once it was in the tank to make sure to get all the crap that was in the sand out. any advice welcome. thanks in advance.
