Recently started a 75gal with about 40lb LR but was using CC and coral frags as the substrate. Tanks seemed cycled (just used LR) but the CC and frags I realized wasn't right, so wanted to fix before getting fish etc.. Previous posts started by Mal about 'Nitrate Help' convinced me to go out and get 90lb sugar-sized Aragamax (aragonite oolite). I removed the coral and placed in the rinsed sand using a PVC tube to the bottom. Now it's been 12 hours, I can only see about 4" into the tank and what I can see of the LR is covered in sand/silt.
Question is should I just relax and just blow off the sand later, or should I removed the LR, rinse and place in my mixing tubs until the tanks clears?
All I've been doing for the last 3 weeks is watching the life on the LR and I'm getting attached, don't want them to die off if they haven't already.
