I just started my new 30g saltwater tank. I added RO water and instant ocean salt and brought the sg to 1.024. I have all new filters that contain carbon and biomedia and rinsed the media before i started cycling them through the saltwater, but my water is cloudy. I think it may be from not thoroughly rinsing my media, but I was wondering if it could be something else. I am waiting to add my live rock to make sure its nothing serious. Ammonia and nitrates/nitrites are all 0 and ph is 8.0. If the cloudy water is due to the lack of thoroughly rinsing the media, how long before it clears up?
