Update on Cloudy Water

[Butterflikissies]

I just wanted you all to know that my tank is finally clearing up!

I think I know what the problem was.. I said my tank was clear the first week but it had a hazy look to it. I think as the sand was soaking in the water it was starting to release tiny particles into the water. I think my filter was taking it in and thats why after a week i had the tank set up, the filter foam popped up. I cleaned the filter.. and after a few days it started getting cloudy again. After a week it got worse. So, I've been doing water changes everyday for about 4 days and it was getting better.. but was still cloudy. I decided I was going to clean the filter again last night ( I had cleaned it 3 1/2 weeks before) and this morning I turned the light on.. it was sooooo much better!!! I still have very tiny dust like particles floating but you can't see it from a distance. I think after a few more water changes it should be completly crystal clear.

I just thought I'd let you all know what the problem was since it was such a mystery.
