How did you actually add the sand? You pour it straight into the tank of water?

Yah. I pour into the tank of salt water... Didnt rinse it as its live sand. Not sure if i'm doing it correctly... Lol

Correct method would be too add e sand first then add water.

None the less the foam/bubbles will disappear on their own too. U probably need to change ur foam after ur water clears. Cuz it wi be full of sand and choke up ur filter system

No wonder it clouds up so bad... anyway, dont worry, I am sure it will clear up. But it will take longer for this case. Just be patient... If not you can try changing water a couple of times.

Continue water change, Use ML Clarifier Plus and GAC to accelerate the clearing process. Add more fine filter wool will surely helps. Importantly, ensure proper ANN Cycle, Cheers and Happy Reefing..

Thanks bro... Reason for adding water first is becos i'm using tap water to test leakage.. There after i add salt to increase salinity.. Den add live sand. I was told live sand will become dead sand if i were to add freshwater directly.
