it will have been 24hrs see what its like then, hope its cleared, strange
though as I just can't think what it is.

When I did my 45 gallon tank it didnt clear until it had fully
saturated with air and then only when the live rock was put in... I
found that it clouded with AIR bubbles and the salt HAD disolved...
Take a glass out of the tank and if it is air clouding it will clear in
a few mins...

Thanks I hadn't thought of the glass idea, the pump I have in is a pretty
good one so the water is moving plenty but will try to take a glass of it
and see what happens when its standing still for a few minutes.

I hope you got some good circulation in the tank.
For my 75gallon, I have four MAG 5 pumps. each stationed in each corner
facing each other. I eventually took the pump out because the current was
making havoc on the sand bed. Since then I've put SQUID unit attached to a
MAG 9.5.
