No worries; life does go on.
I cheated and when ahead and added a bag of carbon to the sump last night; something I usually don't use. I figured that since it was a new tank, it couldn't hurt. This morning, the water was incredibly clear.
One thing that is becoming obvious to me now is that with a 29 inch tall tank, reaching in and grabbing things from the bottom is a whole lot messier!! I have to be careful of deodorant entering the tank now. Maybe I should just grab the tongs from the kitchen; there are certain benefits to living solo (hahaha!!)
