Setting up new 75gal and thougt I was doing everything perfect, until I added the sand. I bought some live agonite sand and dry sand from my LFS. The dry sand said it was from the ocean and didn't contain silica but once I added this sand it was very cloudy. About 24 hours later it cleared up but left a white film all over the class and suds on the side walls of my 30gal sump. Is this normal? The skimmer collected a pinkish milky substance that I emptied a couple of times, now my skimmer, pump and everything has a white film on it. Before I add my rock and fish is there anything that I should do? thanks
