Here is a quick pic of the tank not sure if you can see the cloudiness or if it'd just the camera

The cloudiness is just what happens normally when a tank is just set up. A few days and it should be rid of
Do you know about fishless cycling?

Thank you for the comment. Do you think one eheim 2213 will suffice??

I am very aware of the fish less cycle thank you,

Yes, that filter is more than sufficient for a 29 gal, good choice. The cloudiness is normal; probably from the sand or from filling up the tank; it should settle. Good luck!

What fish are you planning on putting in the tank?

Not sure 100% sure. I was think about tetras and Bolivian rams and possibly 1 small gourami. What do you think?

Back to the cloudy water, it looks like the flow from the spray bar is kicking up the sand and causing it to cloudy up. the spray bar is mounted to the left facing forward. Solid I give it more time and see what happens?
