cheap Gravel Help please

[Snailguy101]

Well I went to my lfs and I bought a bag of blue gravel for a few bucks And I rinced it oyt and a bunch of blue stuff was at the side of the bowl but I thought ah it's fine but when I added it to my aquriam It started to get cloudy It cleared a bit but my tank still seems cloudier then normal and tomorrow is my scuedualed water change could it just be food and waste or is it the gravel?

probably just gravel...it should go away.....i have found that when i buy gravel anywhere but petco or petsmart that there lots of particles and such that dont come out with just one rinsing

It happens it should be crystal in a day or two if you have good filtration.

I added more sand to my 125 and even though I'd washed it completely there was still some cloudiness.

As long as you washed the gravel really really well you shouldn't have a problem.
