Terrible mistake

[Cornstar]

I do not know why, but I was obviously not thinking clearly. I had 2 kribensis in a tank, and I decided to pour unwashed gravel in there. Now the water is all cloudy and I can not manage to find one kribensis. I have a 36 gallon bow, and everything is so cloudy. I am not sure if I should wait, or if I should empty the tank and pour water again. Currently I have 1 kribensis and 5 tiger barbs in a 5.5 gallon temporarily. I know this is terrible. My heart is aching. Suggestions please.

I have an aquaclear 50, I do not know if it will clear it up soon.

What I would do is a 50% PWC followed by another one a few hours later and add some polly fill to the filter. See if that helps. I had terrible clouding issues when I started my 70 with a dirt substrate and the polly fill worked wonders.

I already did a 50% PWC, I guess I will wait a bit until the next PWC. I'll also change the filter. Thanks

Don't change out you media just see if you can cram some pollyfill in next to it. Don't wanna loose your BB

It'll settle and/or get filtered out eventually. Just might take a few days.
