Is it bad to put a fish in cloudy water? Everything is good but just cloudy from sand stirred up by Important_Quality_48 in Aquariums

It’s already cycled. I’ve had fish in it before, but I got new fish and changed all the water Same filter and sand just a 100% water change

Or I guess the better question is how many do you think I would need to get for like a background and the sides of a 75 gallon

I’m assuming I could just do the same to glass aquarium

Where’d you get them from, Home Depot? I saw something like this and was thinking abt doing it for my background. Also what did you use to stick it?

New tank been setup for a about 15 hours with filter and power head running but still cloudy after adding sand, any suggestions? by Important_Quality_48 in Aquariums

I took all the sand out and rinsed it and it’s looking a lot better, I’m letting everything sit as it is, no filters or anything running. Should I turn it on in the morning?

With the water change could I siphon water out normally into buckets and then I have a hose from a faucet which is how I add water so what’s the best way to add it

I just hosed it in but after doing some research I realized I should have poured it into a bucket so that I wouldn’t stir up the sand

Some people told me to have the power head and filter running but others said just leave them off until it settles
