so i adjusted my powerhead to blow onto the Lr... well that stirred up some floating particles... i did this saturday and my tank is still super cloudy any suggestions
what kind of filtration? HOB's and canisters with mechanical and carbon filtration work well...
when i put up a new tank i put power filters on it and it clears up in about 8 hours...worked on both a 55 and 120

i went ahead and got 2 new filter pads and some filterfloss... u think that'll be good enough?
should be, when you stir up the sand mechanical filtration is the way to go
the plain old walmart brand HOB's clear it up pretty fast.....the more floss the better

I told a buddy of mine that had a simliar problem to add the HOB filter and it will clear up quick and he did an hour later I get a phone call saying that it still wasnt clear
so I changed my way of phrasing things like that LOL

leave powerheads ON, just make sure is not pointing directly at Lr or sandbed.
Use carbon in HOB filter for cloudiness.
Use floss/filter-pad for the particles.
If that doesn't work in about 5-8hrs then test water and do a waterchange if neccessary.
