I wonder if Calcium Carbonate would help clear up the sand floaties... Supposedly it just acts as a coagulant or flocculant and makes particles heavier so they fall easier.

I used water from the 55 frag and 2 gal from his 12 yr system.... total gallons was 16.5g.....so far so good waiting for it to clear and then LR will go in......slowly but surely.....cant set up wave pumps yet hygger is being used on the 15g column until transfer of fish and coral....man almost there.
