my live rock just went in yesterday followed by my sand.
sand wad rinced and then put in to the tank.
all pumps and skimmer were shut down during this.

i find myself with very murky and cloudy water today??
is this normal and if yes how long does it last?

i took out all medias in my max. I only run it with small pieces of live rock under both pumps, skimmer and live rock.

i added the fine filter this moorning hoping this will help.

any other things i shoud do?

JOHNY - hang in there, all sounds normal, it will clear soon... I would suggest running the black filter & a finer blue/white one on top of that.

also... point one pump up to obtain a surface ripple & the other down mid-way...

i have the same problem for about 6 weeks now and can't figure out how to get rid of the cloudiness. It was suggested to me to try the Kent Marine Pro Water Clarify. I will let you know as soon as I see results.

Just give it some time and do run your skimmer and run filter floss and change it often. I change mine nearly every day. It amazes me every time I pull the floss out how dirty it is.
