Ok got the piping for the sump(hope it's the right size), and got some foam, and for FREE I do have a question tho. This particular store said it's difficult to find that pink foam, and said they carry the blue version of that "same" foam. Now I'm not entirely convinced that it is the same thing, however took the piece because it was free. I will have to cut around there was glue, but it's a great piece otherwise.

Do you guys know if this would be safe to put in the sump vs the pink foam?

It will be fine. What do you mean the water is cloudy? Did you not put your sand in a few days ago? It should be clear by now, like within a day and a half at the most. Are you sure it's not micro bubbles that you are seeing? Try turning your skimmer off for a few hours, that could causing the micro bubbles. Your powerheads might also be stirring up the sand. But really it should totally clear by now.

No it's far from clear. I put the sand in about a week ago now? I do have the power heads on, tho the first 2 days they were not on and it made no difference. Should I try without again? if you have an iphone I could send you the live feed so you can see the tank. Pictures won't load otherwise. I will have to wait until I am home.
