Hello. So last night I switched from gravel to sand. Bought a 30 lb bag of TOP FIN oolite aragonite sand for a 20 gallon tank. Also installed the fluval 306 I also got yesterday. Took all the gravel out syphoned out half of the water, washed the sand put it in the tank and filled the tank back up with fresh treated water. Now the water is really cloudy. Not sure if the sand isn't settling or its because of the water change and the new filter. I did leave the marine land 200 in it for the beneficial bacteria so they can establish themselves in the new media in the fluvial. Also I see that the goldfish are sucking in and spitting up the sand. Is that normal?? Also I got 3 live plants if it changes anything. So should I be worried about the cloudiness, is there a certain time period to when it should clear up?
