    just had a quick question....i just went from a 30g to a 75g tank. i am using a mix of crushed coral and aragonite as my substrate. the crushed coral is from my original tank and the aragonite is new as i needed to add more since upgrading tank size. my tank cleared up but when adding the live rock it got cloudy very fast, will the cloudy water hurt my fish and inverts? the water parameters are on the money just don't know if i need to wait longer or if the fish will mind the cloudyness

    i had cloudy water for a couple hours yesterday after rearranging my rocks. Fish and inverts seem just fine, i don't think it would hurt them, but more an eyesore and annoyance

    None of my fish,inverts,corals have ever been effected as far as I could tell. As long as it settles out and doesnt stay that way for days and days I do not see a problem.
