I just set up my 10g tank and i put the flourite planted aquarium subtrate in it and the water is basically all brown like choclate milk. I cant even see through it a bit. i have a aquaclear filter runnung. Do you think it will clear up and when? thanks
 
It was caused by the Flourite. It will settle out in a few days. Did you rinse the flourite well? You can do a massive water change if you want to help move things along a bit. Just don't stir up the substrate when you refill the tank.
