Just switched from gravel to sand anyone know how long it takes for the cloudyness to go away in my 1 gallon it wa only an hour but this is a 30 gallon
 
One day at most if you have a filter doing at least 50 gallons an hour, and most are 100 gallons an hour. If you have a bad filter or no filter it could be a week, if gravity is all thats settling it. If you used just beCh sand type stuff it will be faster than if you used fluorite. Did you rinse it? If not it could double the time. I rinse it in a bucket til the water comes out clear wih no sand particles.
Good luck! ????
