Whats the best way to clean it before it first goes into the tank ie its in a big bucket now and ive had water running through it for 2 days an its still cloudy lol :dunno:
 
I put it in a bucket and mix it around with my hands until the water runs clear. When I put it in the tank it only takes a day or so to settle.

Agreed, It will take a bit to settle like many other crushed corals or sands.
 
I use a bowl and wash it by hand. I fill it about a third with sand then with water unitil it's about 75% full and then start to swish it with my hand until it's good and churned, pour the water out carefully so as not to spill sand and repeat until the water is clear then rinse it another two or three times to make sure. I only ever got cloudy water this way with moon sand and it was more a haze than cloudy.
