Bubbles and Cloudiness in New tank

[skylorvivo88]

I set up my tank about 2-3 days ago and I have tons of air bubbles and it's not super cloudy but there is definitely still cloudiness. Does it usual take a week or so? Or is there a method of fixing that? I have a filter okay don't use it because of what everyone suggests. I have lava rock so I'm guessing that contributes a lot to the air bubbles.

There's allot more air bubbles that you can't see in the picture btw

Its normal, the bubbles will disperse over time, especially once you have animals moving around in the tank. Basically when you first fill a tank there is pretty inevitably some air trapped in the substrate and decorations that over time gets released as bubbles.

OK cool. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to wait a week and then buy the macro algae and the snails. How many snails is recommended per gallon?

I'd start with just the 10 pack Mustafa sells, they'll reproduce over time to reach whatever number the tank can support.
