sand + filters

[vonk]

After i added my live sand to the tank today i was, and still am waiting to turn my filter back on. its obvious the sand has settled on the bottom of the tank but the water is still cloudy. will it hurt the filter to turn it on now and filter out whatever the cloudyness is?

It will clear much faster with the filter on than it will with it off. If you have sponge in the filter be sure you clean it out well after the water clears.
