Hello fellow enthusiasts!
I had just set up 3 days ago a 15" x 15" x 23"(h) tank and plans to make it a FOWLR tank.

Day 1
I put in about 2.5" of Carabsea Black LS, 12 lbs of LR, salinity 1.023. Im using a 130g/hr HOB filter. And i have 2 450g/hr wavemaker, set up as in the picture above.
Day 2
After 24hrs, the water starts to become crystal clear. I decided to put 20ml of API Stress Zyme as indicated. And after reading up about water cycling, i decided to throw in 1 dead market prawn into the tank to speed up cycling process.
Day 3
This morning, i woke up to a very very very cloudy tank. I could see like 'white smoke' circulating in the water. And the stench is "WOW"!
Please help me clear my doubts. =((
Should i be concerned about the cloudy water. Am i doing fine or is there a problem that's causing the cloudy water? Will it go away? Should i remove those dead prawns?
Secondly, where should i place the two wave makers? Are they a good enough flow rate? Am i placing it correctly as in the picture?
Thirdly, i extended the length of the inlet tube of the HOB with a piece of pipe so that it sucks in water from the deeper depth of the tank. Does this have any bad effects to the HOB like slowing it down?
Thanks for your time reading up my post... I hope you guys could really help
