I have moved/set up a 18 gallon, 60 cube, 135 gallon (moved that one a few times) and a 100 gallon I set up in a hurry when my 180 sprung a leak and had to directly move everything at once, including sand which was a nightmare as my corals went in as well, and then my 180 the first time and when I moved back over. The last time, was a problem. The last time I moved my tank over, I didnt rinse out my sand, and had alot of problems with settling. It was unclear for days and I ran filtersocks continuously, cleaning them every few hours, had hob filters running, changing out their filters. It didnt work either. After like the sixth day, I just turned everything off. After about 24 hours, it was clean enough to see the back glass, after 48, it was clear as could be. Without anything moving around, it settled. Then I just vacumed up the stuff off the bottom.
