Finally, I'm a happy camper...I think

Hey all. Finally got my 80 up with only a few "glitches" and a return line that got knock out on the floor for what seemed like an hour but was more like 45 seconds. Still enough time for A LOT of water

Well after lugging the sand home today, I put 300 pounds of Southdown in the tank and BAM instant milk. Well I've been filtering with everything I've got and it's very slowly turning into skim milk. Anyone know how long it takes to clear up? There is definitely layer of very fine white sand. Looks nice for the 1/2 inch visibility I have. I rinsed 2 bags and decided that I was just losing sand trying and just put the other 4 bags in. Hard to believe anything is going to live in there right now

Goodnight all, and HAPPY EASTER and HAPPY PASSOVER

LOL. Well it seems like weeks anyway. Then you go and move something and stir it all up again.

Good Morning !! Well the tank has cleared by more then half overnight, thank goodness. Do you think I should fire up the skimmer at this point? That sand sure does look nice

Thanks everyone and enjoy your holiday !!
