FloraMax Substrate?

[IttyBittyFishy.]

Hey!

Does anyone have any experience with using FloraMax as a substrate for planted tanks? I picked up a few bags of it the other day for my 20 gallon (all that is in there right now is water and substrate). Despite extensive rinsing, it still makes the water very cloudy. How can I get rid of this? Will water changes help or will I just have to let it settle?

Itty, I recently put floramax in my 20 high tank and after about 3 or 4 hours my filter cleaned the tank right up. But I would wait to put in plants or decor as the dust settles down on top of everything. So far my plants are pretty healthy. I always use root tabs as well
