Cloudy Fishtank Question?

Question

My fishtank began to be cloudy (because of the sand) when i started moving around the rocks. Now that im done moving the rocks, the fishtank is still cloudy.

I was wondering if

it is fully safe to put my fishes back?

what should i do?

Answer 1

Probably.  The cloudiness that you are talking about is probably due to particulates that have gathered in the rocks or sand and should clear up  shortly  with physical filtration.

I would suggest that you do a partial water change using a suction hose to clean the rocks as soon as possible, however.

Answer 2

Totally safe, it takes about a day to clear up.

Answer 3

Yes let it run 30 minutes or so wash the filter again then add your fish.Its much safer than leaving them out too long.

Answer 4

i would let the sand settle

dont move the tank when the sand is settling
