hello

[oakleyanni]

Hopefully just a little of advice!
I'm new to saltwater but not to fresh and i just set up my first saltwater tank and have questions already!
I've been reading so much on the hobby that at this point I figured it was time to just start asking people.....so I set up my 29 gallon last night and after cleaning my substrate (a mix of black sand and crushed coral) and putting it in the tank, as I started to add the water it became very cloudy! I know I cleaned the coral until the water ran clear but then why is my water clouding up? Soooo I hucked up the filter and left it run and this morning the water was clear but when I pocked at the bottom the water started to get cloudy again!! Okay do I need to start over or is this okay......of fcourse I'm not adding fish until the tank is cycled but i don't even want to get that far into it if this substrate is going to cause problems in the future.....can someone please point me in the right direction
Thanks so much
And it's good to be here!!!!
