I just started up my 75 gallon tank and I bought three bags of Caribsea natural reef (don’t meed to rise that) but I bought two bags of dry sand to cut the cost I did rinse the sand for a while but then I put it into my tank just got done filling my tank with Rodi water yesterday and let it be over night the tank is still cloudy but not as bad as yesterday what should I do?!

Welcome to R2R!

I'd let it run it course and it will eventually clear up. If you are running a sump, you might want to add some poly filter on the intake to polish your water to remove all the small particulates.

5 micron socks in your sump would do wonder. They make tank water crystal clear.
