Cycle the tank a day or more for the water to be clear. Have you place the soil already with water ?
Hi all,
Need advise.
I have recently bought a 2nd hand tank from another fish frantic, who also hand me some aquarium soil, I am thinking of doing some aquarium planting, therefore I accepted it from him.
Now when I am preparing the soil, I find that the water is very muddy (Brown color). This is due to the soil dissolving in the water I guess. Can anyone advise me what can I do to effectively deploy the soil into the water again?
Right now the water is muddy and I have already left it for more than 3 hours to "settle". Doesn't look good though.

Hi,
Yah, the soil is in the water already.
Will be much less cloudy after you woke up tomorrow... So no worries

It'll take about half a day to a day (depends on the tank size and filter flowrate) for the murkiness to settle & the water to turn clear... Try not to stir the soil to much while planting your plants, it'll be fine...
