    I have a 55gal tank that is about a month old now, I have 2 clowns, 2 scarlet hermits, 1 trocus snail and just purchased a sand sifter goby the other day. The goby does a great job at turning over the sand but now the water is always slightly cloudy. Will it eventually settle out? The sand in my tank is CaribSea Aragonite .5-10mm diameter.

    It should settle

    Do you have any powerheads pointing towards the sandbed? If so you might move it up little

    yes, it will eventually settle down. My diamond goby did the same thing when I first added him to a new tank. It took about a week to really settle. Now when he sifts the sand, it doesnt kick up the storm like before.
