Question
I set up my tank but mus tnot of rinsed the argonite well enough.  Now the water is completly cloudy.  Is there something I can add to the water to help the filter clear up the tank.

Answer

Chris,

You have three options:
wait and let the dust from the argonite settle and your tank
will clear up. This may take three to fours days.

Try taking out your gravel and rinse it really well. This will help.

Add a half a cup of activated carbon to your filter this will  help clarify your water.  This process may take 3 to days as well.

good luck
Todd
