what is the easiest way to post a pic on here?

I usually just upload it onto imageshack, take the "direct url" and copy/paste it into the image (click the icon that looks like a picture). I'm sure there are probably easier ways, but it works.

Did you added new live sand to the tank lately? You mentioned using a fluval 405 filter. What type or carbon/media are you using?

i added the sand at the beginning which was over 2 weeks ago. i just put kent reef carbon in a couple days ago. its getting better it seems with time.

It will. Don't be in a rush, and everything will be fine. I'd probably not add anymore fish for at least a month and after a good wter change.
You haven't mentioned yet, I don't believe. Do you have a skimmer?

Aquatro is right. It will clear with time. I have used Caribsea live sand for my setup....It tooks days for the water to clear. You should probably look into using a skimmer if you don't currently use one.
