So I've had my tank for 2 weeks. She's up and running and has my "live sand" and a few rocks and snails and a few crabs running around. I ordered "the package" from TBS and it'll be here in a few days. This is new to me so any advice will go along way!
My first question is that I put my sand and crushed coral in, my lfs said no need to wash it so I didn't. Now every time I look at it I can cause it to get cloudy and several days later, it's crystal clear. My wife says I need to leave it alone. Unfortunately I don't listen and cause it to turn into a 65 gallon tank of milk. Any suggestions on getting the mess out?

Not sure what I am hearing here. You say up and running for 2 weeks. Do you have live rock yet? Are you getting it? for a tank that size it is an essential part of your filtration, and will need several weeks to cycle (search tank cycle in box on front page). This should (must) be done before adding a CUC as the cycle could kill much of it off. We need to know more about what is going on before real advice can be given. And again, WELCOME.
