clear water in new tank????

[campion]

Hello guys and gals.

I have a bit of problem and I hope some one can help me with.

I had a small tank (30L) and my fish were getting a bit big for it so I gave them a treat and brought them a new home.

I have purchased a Jebo 362, and have had it running a week. Then transfered the fish to it.
Amonia = 0
Ph =6.3

When we first filled the tank, (yes we cleaned the gravel) added the fake plants and added the water, it became VERY cloudy, and dirty.
No problem, the filter should clean it , and it has to a point.
The water is sort of clear, but not chrystal clear like the other tank.

Do I have to just wait and be patient do water changes, gravel clean etc for it to
become very clear?

You could try adding a filter aid. These are chemicals that coagulate fine particles in the water so that they form clumps which the filter can trap. Most of the cloudiness is particles too fine to be trapped by the filter medium so the only other way to get rid of them is water changes (assuming the water you're putting in doesn't have these particles)
