sand
 
sand settling,
i dont think i washed the sand very well and my water looks really murky, should i wait it out till the morning to settle or is it time for some carbon?

keep your water flowing and wait it should only take a few hours.

Running fliter floss really helps.

i have some cartrages that have just a little floss would that work? just stick it really close to the intake into my sump?

I was worried about this too but it settled down in my new tank after about a day. I don't have a filter on my tank yet either.
