How long will it take

Well I filled my tank and my salt was haveing trouble dissolving and I figured the cloudiness would dissapear but after 24hrs it isnt how long may it take with waver makers and everything running.

Also I added start smart in my system and some of my frozen food I made to kick start the cycle when I see algea or diatoms and see all my parameter all right my cuc will be ordered
Probally a 2-3weeks

 

Any clue im hoping just a few days

 

I will have to wait and see.

 

yeah a few days, ya gotta alot of stuff going on right now

 

Its what I thought just didnt know how stuff will react to none disovled salt im still hitting it with a turkey baster now and then

 

yeah, get it disolved but no worries, cycle right. Relax and watch

 

Did I follow this right? You filled your tank with freshwater, and then added salt, correct? And now your rocks, sand, and bacterial supplement are in the tank before all the salt is mixed, is that right? Was it live rock and sand? Was it in the tank when you filled it with freshwater? You can't do that.

The salt and water can be mixed in the tank IF it's empty. It should also remain empty until all the salt is mixed and the SG stabilized. Whatever survived the freshwater is now getting burned by the dry salt that keeps settling on it. And even if the rocks and sand were dry, it still creates problems with stabilizing your SG.

Not much you can do now... what's done is done. I wouldn't bother with the SG until after the cycle, you can slowly adjust it then (with mixed SW). Just understand that if there was life, most if not all is lost.

 

No I mixed salt in buckets and add to tank that had everything in it
Dont wry I am not adding anything until its all gone

 

Should I through this salt out and get a new batch of salt

 

Sorry if I missed this but what salt are you using is it a new batch or is it old?
