Sand help really cloudy!

[Wakechick888]

My sand really clouds up my tank when I stir it or basically do anything how can I fix it, or is this even a thing I can fix? HUMMMMMMMM

Don't stir it!
Is it a newer tank? Over time, when the sand builds up with bacteria, it will become heavier and stay down more. What kind of substrate are you using? I'm assuming for a SW tank?

I agree, don't stir it.

[eklikewhoa]

change the water.

Yes its a salt. Its been up and running for about 7 months now, I just hate how cloudy it gets when i place new things in. Will the particles hurt the Fish’s breathing when it is cloudy? And thanks for all the help ;-}

Is the water cloudy? Or can you actually see the sand particles? If it's sand, it will settle shortly after stirring it up. If the tank is cloudy for long periods, it's probably something else making it that way

How big is your tank? Maybe the flow is too strong for your tank?
