cloudy water

Hello! I have one 30 gallon tank and one 40 gallon tank both with goldfish in them currently. We've had the 30 gallon tank for a few months. It was doing really well at first. About a month ago, the water started to turn brown. We did a water change and cleaned everything. After just a couple...

I’ve recently started dosing very, very small amounts of Phosphate RX LC (about 6-12 drops into a 165g system per day) directly into a 1micron filter sock. However, I’m getting cloudy water. Is the cloudy water suppose to leach out while the harmful precipitated particles are kept in the sock...

I've been running the aquarium since early january and the water is now cloudy. My parameters are : Nitrate : 17.4 Calcium 497 Alkalinity :7.5 Phosphate : 0 I've also been running into a lot of problems with what I'm guessing is dinos. All I've done in the past week is switched to a brand new...

I put the water in the new aquarium on Dec 31st and by now (jan 4th), it still hasnt cleared up yet. The rocks are "caribsea dry life rock" The sand is called "AQUANATURAL oolitic aragonite sand" I've rinsed the sand until is clear prior to adding it into the tank I am only running my 2...

I just filled in my aquarium with saltwater and the water got cloudy and I did wait about a day for the water to "settle", but nothing has changed I did rinse the sand until it is completely clear, so Im not sure if this is because of sand or an algae bloom

Hello, I have a question about my water. My tank is about a year old, everything has been running smoothly for a while now. I changed my AI Prime HD light settings from David Saxby to the BRS AB+ settings, and about 3 days later I got home from work to tank with extremely cloudy water. I have...

Hi, new here. I always look at posts but this is 1st time posting. We added a Diamond goby to our tank a few days ago (today is day 4 since we picked him up) He's great at his job BUUUUTTTTT the tank is soooooo cloudy now. Is there anything I can do? Do I need a water change or need to wait for...

Hey everyone, What seemed to have happened overnight Is my reef getting really cloudy. It’ll be a year old in less than a month, it’s gotten worst everyday but specifically today it looks like it’s gotten more cloudy within a few hours. I’m not sure if anything is spawning in the tank but this...

I have a 75g aquarium been running for a couple of months now, I cycled the tank with the microbacter starter kit and it went well. The starter kit also came with a bottle of microbacter clean, to use over the next few months to battle through the ugly phase. The ugly phase has begun and hasn't...

I am relatively new to saltwater. My original tank has been up and running for almost a year, no problems since the first cycle. I am now upgrading to a 75 gallon. That first 75 gallon started to leak, 4 days after I started it. LFS said I could keep the live rock in a tote with the water to...

I have a 65G, in a FISHLESS cycle 3 weeks now. Trying to set up a Clown Harem like Brs, they used Auto feeder to drop some pellet food into tank everyday when cycling. Just follow what BRS did. Yesterday, the auto feeder failed and a fed alot of pellet food. Water is cloudy today, should I do...

I wanted to share my experience dealing with severe water clarity issues and water borne algae. I started cycling my tank in March 2018. I ran it without a skimmer and once cycled I added a clown, Blenny and Watanabe Angel of the course of about two months. Unfortunately there was a long delay...

Ever since adding the sand and rocks to the tank the water has a residual cloudiness to it. What can I do to get rid of it? It's like the particles are suspended in the water column.

Hi all. My IM Nuvo Fusion 20 gallon mixed reef has been up and running since its cycle completed in mid-October (~2 months). I have a pair of ocellaris clownfish and a handful of mostly LPS corals. All seem to be doing well. I also have 5 cerith snails which will come into play later. About...
