New Sand Cloudiness

[rodasphoto]

I put some new sand in to fill in bare spots and now my tank is super cloudy. I changed filter socks and have my pump running faster than normal to hopefully clean the water faster. Are my fish going to be OK? I have 3 anthias, a clown, 2 aptasia filefish, lawn mower blenny, and a chromis.

Thanks. I added biomagnet clarifier that came in the bag and it seems to help. Also I shoved filter socks in every place I could.

It cleared up. I appreciate the help. I thought getting live sand was going to prevent the sand storm in my tank but it didn't. The bio magnet clarifier did seem to help along with all the filter socks I added to the bubble traps and overflow. I was worrie really either about losing my fish especially my anthias as I know they are delicate.

You can always rinse it next time if you don't really need the "live bacteria".. which arguable is pretty insignificant anyway. But even with rinsing it very well you will always experience at least a little bit of cloudiness.
