Murky Water

[Hotrod32487]

I just setup my 55 gallon tank and have been waiting for the water to clear up. I had my two clownfish in a bowl but they were in there way too long so i put them in my tank with the murky water thinking it would be better. I sure hope so but is there anything i can do to help speed up the process of everything settling and the water getting clearer? Let me know what yall think



p.s.
i ran outta salt so until tomorrow thats as high as i can fill it and thats not the light im going to be using either

Is this a brand new tank setup? ...Your first?...

[Hotrod32487]

No i moved all of my stuff from my 30 gallon into it just today

[DaBird47]

oh, ok...well I think with a little patience by tomorrow it will settle out, good luck with the new tank... I would try to get it filled up as soon as possible though

The fish should be fine as long as they were healthy to start. I had one look twice as bad when I chaned over from crushed coral to sand years ago. Remember that these animals live through sand storms in them wild all the time, not that you'd want to do that to them but it happens.

Well this morning its still not perfect but its a lot better. These fish might be too healthy lol. I started cutting back on their feeding about a week ago so they should be fine. So far they and my cleaner shrimp are all alive and kicking so there shouldnt be a problem i dont think
