Tank Setup (Undergravel Filter or Not?)

Question
Stephanie,

1.) I am setting up a 46 Gallon Hex tank and in looking for a undergravel filter, was told that they were not neccesary and that it is older technology and lots of hobbiest are getting away from them.  I took the advice and did'nt use one?  Good or Bad?  Currently I am just running a Penguin 200 Bio-wheel filter.  I just filled the tank 2 days ago and I am waiting on a Coralife Quad Light to come in so I haven't planted anything or bought any starter fish yet.  Do I need more filtration and what would you advise?  
2.)I added conditioner and bacteria and the water appears a little cloudy currently. Will this clear up or are there any tricks to clarifying?

Thank you so much for your time Stephanie!!!

Sincerely,
Jay Anderson

Answer
Hello,

As long as you have a filter you're good to go. People are right to say that undergravel filters are not the best kind.

If your water is a little cloudy you should change a bit of it (about 10%) and add conditioner, but no more bacteria. What chemical are you using to add the bacteria? Cycle is the best, if you can find that.

It should clear up soon, but make sure it does before you add fish.

Best of luck,
From Stephanie
