24hr post tank swap cloudy water?

[tpirovol]

Hi Everyone,

Just did a tank swap from a Evo 13.5g to a Red Sea nano max xl 33g, yesterday.

I took out about 9g of water and put the water, filter sock, rocks and bioballs into the new tank with clean washed new sand. I also added about 8pds of new rock cleaned. I then let it cycle for an hr and placed the livestock back in.

Today I noticed the water is slightly cloudy. Checked the levels and and ammonia is .25-.50, nitrite and nitrates are 0.

It could also be the new sand being blown around as I am still messing with the power heads.

Thoughts??

lol…. go with your gut young one! Be one with the force. …
If it was me I’d let it settle and monitor it.
