cloudy sand help please!?!?!?

[vasilithegreek]

This is the first time i used the caribsea non live arag sand(im seeding with my established sand from my other tank) and i was dumb and put the bag in before rinsing the sand out. So now I have a dilema on what i need to do...Its been 1.5 days since i put the sand in and it is still very cloudy. I have a jbj 24 nano.
-Should I dump the water?
-Any other filteration I could use to clear it up?
-Can I still add the live rock?
-Do i just wait it out?
Any help would be great. Thanks guys.[/HTML][/HTML]

You can use a filter to help clear the water but if you wait bacteria will begin to colonize the particles that are suspended in the water and they will settle to the bottom. It can take up to a week to completely settle out if you have a large amount of silt in the water.
Yes you can add your liverock the sand suspended in the water won't affect the rock.

how fine is the sand...smaller grains of sand takes longer to clear up but will eventually clear up...so just sit back and wait...and adding the lr now won't effect anything..
