tank won't settle please help

[dawn7369]

I purchased a 125 gal tank set up, has 2 canister filters, I put in the live sand and the instant ocean then started the pumps as was instructed at the pet store. 2 days later still can't see in the tank, read online that shouldn't run the pumps so they have been off for 5 days, and still can't see through the tank , if anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it

welcome to the boards and just wondering have you tried to clean the glass with a magfloat?
i would run atleast one filter but thats just me and start the other one later, im sure this didnt help but be patient someone will come along to give you more info, could you post some pics?

Wow, I am not an expert but I don't think you got great advice. We added our water and salt, mixed it up then added sand/crushed coral, Tank was clean the next morning.

lol wow i really missed that part, yeah you really got some crappy advice, you could almost drain the water and start over again, i was half asleep when i read your post, i would never take any more advice from that guy ever again

I'm thinking you typed your message wrong, so I want to make sure; did you put the sand in, then add the water that had been mixed with your salt or did you put the sand in, then the salt, then the water and thenn turn on the pumps ? Welcome to the boards !!!!
