Turn on your filters and it will clear up. What you are seeing is normal. It's just very fine dust sized particles. Your air stone is probably helping to keep the dust suspended in the water column. You need the filter on to help sift it out. Run a sponge filter or a HOB with a wad of filter floss packed in the chamber and it will clear right up.

It will settle. But play sand requires 129,826,926,942,618 rinses to be completely clear :)
Negative Karma for rule enforcement is a badge of honor :)

My filters are off and just a air stone working . I cant see the back of the tank . Will it calm down ? Or should I just take it out ? Help
