I would probably do a large water change or three to get rid of some of the crud floating otherwise give it some time and it'll settle to the bottom.

That is if it isn't sucked up by your filtration.

It'll look good soon, just be patient!

What are you using for filtration? Can you add a large amount of filter floss to the filtration? Nothing is better for clearing superfine particles from water.

I have an overhang filter and it would be able to have filter floss as well! Thank you! I'll have to check to see if I still have any more

Put in as much as you can and if need be, take it out and rinse thoroughly under a spray of tap water periodically, since silty particles can clog it up pretty quick. Should make a very noticeable difference overnight .

Filter floss is the best water polishing media we have and always worth using.
