Cloudy Water

....Common sense tells me that this much calcium isn't from any amount of sand...even un-rinsed.....

I put two bags of Southdown Sand in my tank last summer without rinsing it and the calcium shot up to 650. It was one of the "bigger" mistakes I've made. Almost as big as just dumping a couple of shots of vodka into the tank one night without keeping track of how much I added. (I lost 4 fish making that mistake because the algae bloom sucked too much oxygen out of the water)

Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but you should also add a prefilter and carbon... just make sure you get enough filter floss to change it out once water clears.

 

 

cheers

 

I agree, this will help remove the sediment from the water so it will clear up faster. Makes no difference what the cause is either.
