Question
i SET MY 65 GAL SALTWATER TANK UP 9 DAYS AGO NOW AND STILL HAVE CLOUDY WATER WHAT DO I DO?

Answer
do you have too much flow? often times too much flow and very fine sand can cause cloudy water. or if your water is rich with minerals that can also be a problem which is why it is often wise to have an rodi unit to filter water before using it in a tank. i would suggest going to the lfs and refilling your tank with rodi water. but i am aware they also have additives that will help clear up cloudy water you could always give that a try.

hope that helps!
