Will This Coral Nightmare Ever End?

[joshrm115]

ok I have crushed correl and when I do a water change 50%+ my tank looks like this but every day that passes my tank gets cloudyer by the day until its unbearable to look at what should I do take all the sand out and rewash it? Give up on sand? Any help would be greatly appreciated thx

Did you wash out the sand thoroughly?

 

[joshrm115]

Well I did wash the sand butit said pre washed onthe bag buy I still washed it all maybe 6-7 times

Do you guys think this is going to be a on going problem, and its just going to be a battle? Should I go right now and get some rock and just dump the sand? I just really need to know.

I place a large cobble on the sand when I'm pouring in the new water, pour the water in slow and it doesn't disturb the substrate and fill the tank with cloudy gunk
Hope this helps ,
cheers , Sean

I ended up just taking the sand out and adding white rock it looks about the same and no mess but thanks every one....lol It did take me like 5 hours to get all the sand out and scrub the new rock and rebuild the tank but its three in the morning and Im done so good night all and thanks again
