I bought a 29 gallon tank. Cleaned the glass ect... I bought 50lb bag of playsand from lowes. I spent all day yesterday washing it out in buckets. I have it in the tank now and the water is cloudy. It's not horribly like brown but definitely cloudy. What can I do? I'm new to the hobby and thought sand would be good for a nice look and very beginner plants. Also all I have is a hang on filter heater and air pimp with airstone as well as lid with LEDs. Can someone help me out, give me some tips, or let me know what to expect and how long this will take. I don't want my water getting like this when a pleco or something goes crazy in the sand in the future. What should I do?
Edit: This is for a freshwater aquarium. Also I have 3 1/2 inches of sand in there. I'm thinking I should remove a lot of it and have 2 or 2 1/2 inches.
