    Should be overnight....what filter do you have on the tank? Sand is probably the #1 killer of HOB filter impellers.

        Re: Helo have a question

        One way to assist clearing up the tank  is to place a bubble sponge in the tank, if you have one.

        They do a great job clearing the minute particles of debris from the water table too....

        Good Luck.

            Time will eventually send all large particles to the bottom, have patience grasshopper.....

            Too bad you dont' have a small air pump and bubble sponge, that would clear a 10 gallon tank in just a couple hours.
