Do not clean the filter
unless it is totally clogged,
and the water is not flowing
(which is actually posssible, if you used acurel f)

I would try doing a 90% water change
add some fresh carbon to the filter
add a bag 'o' good dirty water
and leave town for 2 days

a watched pot never boils

it will clear, soon

by the way
if you used all dolomite it probably would be clear already

I love crushed coral but it does take forever to settle
