Water Cloudy!

[lilwill83]

hey, tanks been set-up since sunday morning i used 50lbs play sand and then 40lbs arag and im slowly adding live rock to eliminate any major spike because ive already got a couple chromis in the tank. anyway how long should it take for the cloudyness to go away? couple days, do a water change or is there anything i can add to the water? thanks for any comments im new and excited to have entered into the hobby :jumping:

You shouldn't have fish in there until the tank is cycled. The only thing you can do now is frequent water changes and hope they survive the cycle.
I'm recommending frequent water changes to make the cycle easier on the fish. Normally, no water changes until the cycle is finished.

Well you should have used a cocktail shrimp to cycle your tank instead of fishies ...
That being said the cloudiness should go away in a couple of days with your PowerFilter and PowerHeads turned on.
Do not do a water change until your cycle is finished! If you do it will take longer to cycle the tank. You might lose your fishies though.
