    How u refill the water? Normally not so cloudy on even new soil. You must on your filter in order to cycle your tank.

    You just have to wait for the dirt to settle down,on you filter it help to speed clearing the partical but you have to clean the filter once it clear.

    Yeah, pouring water directly into the tank with brand new ADA aquasoil, even if you are careful, will still cloud up the water. You have to really diffuse the flow with a plastic sheet/bowl or trickle drip the water in.

    Anyways, the dust particles will settle over time, but the suspended fine particles will need to be manually removed with repeated water changes.

    It'll be best to run the filter with white filter wool to trap all the fine particles (change the filter wool regularly when it becomes brown/black). Eventually the water will clear up.
