Give it a little while for bacteria to get going and it will clear up.
The fact that it's taking a while to clear shows it's very fine
particles.
And down the road that will be a plus for ya. It is frustrating
and worrysome. But it will clear up for you.


This is my plan at this point, Ric. I am going to wait and see what
happens.
I will probably put there some piece of base live rock from a different
fish tank to speed things up... and maybe a couple of blue-legged
hermits.
I plan to feed these little fellows and hope they will feed the
bacteria action
with their feces... ;-)

Have you read anywhere about temperature of sand in regards to DSB ?
When I was mixing the sand with my bare hand I have noticed the surface
is warm, but the lower layers of sand are very cold - are there any
problems
related with this issue and did anybody try to solve them using heater
cables ?

Never heard anything Pro or Con about lower level of DSP being a
different temp.
But you DO want that oxygen-free area at the bottom of the DSB.
