Finished adding Sand!

[xsizzlax]

I added about 175lbs of sand and the water is really cloudy, I took most of the water out of the tank to fill up my buckets, which have the lr and fish and coral. I have three buckets one with the fish with a heater and a light which is off at the monument and a 802 powerhead, next bucket I have lr with yellow polyps and purple tip and it has a heater and a powerhead and two flou lights which are on, the last bucket has just lr with no powerhead or heater am switching heaters from fish bucket to lr bucket. How long will it take to clear up it looks pretty cloudy to me
Does everything look good to you guys?

Depends on the filtration. If you added something like Southdown sand , this could take a couple days to clear with just a wet/dry filter. I personally use UGF's and it typically clears in a couple hours.

I used a large hang on the back power filter and stuffed it full with filter media and it cleared the tank in a couple of hours.
