Added salt, still cloudy?
I added salt to my empty tank about 3 hours ago. It's still not clear and it's fairly cloudy...is this normal? No sand etc in it.
I'm running it through a carbon reactor to see if it helps but so far, nothing.

Generally it takes about 24 hours to clear up

It takes time. It will clear up in a few days. Live rock and sand really speeds up the process....

Do you have aeration in your tank? With some powerhead in their, you can dissolve the salt faster.
