I am super confused right now! Yesterday morning I put SeaChem Dark Fluorite in my tank, then added gravel on top. I have driftwood and plants in there as well. I rinsed the gravel and rinsed the driftwood under cold water for a couple minutes. I didn't rinse the fluorite. I have plants in the tank as well. I am so confused after reading all the comments across the internet.
I have my filter running and overnight my tank went from "EXTREMELY Yellow Cloudy" to "VERY Yellow Cloudy but I can see the back of the tank a little". Well, I'm thinking with a couple water changes, maybe the cloudiness will go away? But, when it all becomes good and clear and I add fish and all the dust is sitting out the bottom. How do i gravel vac? Won't my whole tank just become cloudy once again? When I have fish should I vacuum this gravel or just water change it? Should I just dump all this fluorite and gravel out and start with something that won't make my tank cloudy and make it easier to clean? I'm so confused and frustrated
