Cloudy water

[krystalfaugeaux]

I came home to a cloudy tank. I did a water change and the chemicals are where they need to be but what else can I do to help it clear up. My corals and anenome are not to happy.

check your reactors, filter sock, skimmer, and PURIGEN!!! Will make it crystal clear.

Carbon...water change...repeat.

They are all running fine and I did a water change. I can't do another until I can get more water.

It's still cloudy this morning. Do I have to keep doing water changes?

 

[krystalfaugeaux]

I tested everything but the one thing I obsess over is the ammonia. It's fine. PH Is ok too. I'd like it just a tad higher but it's in a good range. My anenome is up and looks like it will be moving. It's been in the same spot over a week now. I've read when they are stable and decide to move it's because they are unhappy.

Forgot the pic

U sure nothing died?

 

[krystalfaugeaux]

Positive

I don't have anymore water to do another change till tomorrow

 

[krystalfaugeaux]

So I turned the light on just now to make sure everyone is still alive. The only fish that hasn't come out is the blue tang. She was fine when I got home and did the water change. I think she's just hiding where ever she goes for the night.

I think it'll be fine if everything is still alive. Just do another change today and run carbon.

Might be an algae bloom of some sort. Maybe try putting in a little filter floss to clear it up.

From your picture. It all.most looks like your return is shooting bubbles. I'm sure you're not low on water. But is your skimmer working? I know when I filled my tank for cycling. I accident my dumped a 5 gallon jug full of kalk in it. Went cloudy to where I couldn't see anything in it. Stayed like that for a week until I put my skimmer in. In a day it skimmed out all the white particles. And throw a filter sock in if you don't already have one. Good luck.

It does kinda look like micro bubbles, can you take a video?
