I just added water and sand to a new tank and it's really murkly, (22LBS or aragonite and 50LBS play sand and i got 20 LBS of LS which i haven't added yet, should i add the LS while the water is murky or wait until it clears and should i have my powerfilter going to help with the murky water or it wouldn't help any ways or make it worse.
Need Help please.............

did you wash your aragonite? it has a lot of debris that can cause your tank to cloud. i made the same mistake a year ago. the best thing to do is to clean the gravel with a siphon. if the murk does settle it will be stirred up again with fish. i had to drain and refill my system.
