Default cloudy water fixes??
Alright, I just switched over everything from my 36 gallon cornerbowfront to my new 60 gallon. I put the new sand in first and then put my live sand from my 36 gallon tank on top. My water is cloudy!!! can I turn the filter on and can I put my fish in. They are in a bucket with an airstone right now and im just not sure what to do next. Can anyone please help.

well i would wait because you probably released some nitrates into the tank from the sand in your other tank

Test your water! Get the filter turned on as some of the cloudiness might be from your new sand.

Make another thread for the spraybar. A lot more people will see it and you will also be able to use the search feature at the bottom of your post for others that have asked the same question.
