My new 90g mix/reef

[DA fisherman]

Soooooooooooooooooo I finally got to setup my tank, here's the stats:

90g RR Aqueon tank with 70Lbs of dry Fiji rocks, 70lbs of live and dry Fiji pink sand.
For filtration I made a 30g sump/refugium

1st baffle has a filter sock, bubble magus 150 skimmer,
2nd baffle has my refugium with- live sand,live rock, chaeto,copods,amphipods.
3rd baffle has my return pump.

Hopefully I will be upgrading my skimmer soon.

Tank is on it's first day of cycling...

How long does it take for the water to clear up??? Cause when I setup my 55g it was clear the next day but in the 90g it's been 4 days and water is still cloudy.

My tank started clearing up within the first week. It would get better and better everyday and then I beileve on the 5th or 6th day it was crystal clear. Just be patient and don't add any chemicals to clear water. Looks very nice
