Why would my fallowing tank of about 1 - 1.5 weeks be cloudy? Should this be of concern? I have a microscope if you'd like me to take a sample. Tank is 4 months old, fallowing for diseases for 1.5 weeks so far.

No it will take some time while filtration breaks in and all the dust settles.Why would my fallowing tank of about 1 - 1.5 weeks be cloudy? Should this be of concern? I have a microscope if you'd like me to take a sample.View attachment 2335785View attachment 2335787
No, running for about 4 months, then started fallow.Did you just set it up and fill it?
Did you rinse your sand? Filter floss may helps if you don’t already use it.No, running for about 4 months, then started fallow.

I do use filter floss. And sand is relatively clean by now.Did you rinse your sand? Filter floss may helps if you don’t already use it.

In that case must be bacterial. It doesn’t look too bad. Maybe UV would remove it. We are just guessingI do use filter floss. And sand is relatively clean by now.
Well, my uv broke during the start of fallow. But didn't think it would make my tank this cloudy.In that case must be bacterial. It doesn’t look too bad. Maybe UV would remove it. We are just guessing
You need a uv it you can just wait it out if no fish/ corals in dangerBump: Still getting cloudier...

I believe it to be a diatom bloom... I'm making a new post. Yes I am working on getting a new uv.You need a uv it you can just wait it out if no fish/ corals in danger
Diatoms are on surfaces and brown. The cloudiness is not diatoms.I believe it to be a diatom bloom... I'm making a new post. Yes I am working on getting a new uv.
Well, take a look.Diatoms are on surfaces and brown. The cloudiness is not diatoms.
I have looked at it. The most common types are a cigar and the triangle shaped ones for diatoms.Well, take a look.
Aquarium microscopy findings (vids + pics). Pls identify..
In the videos: #1 is probably a copepodite, but could be a rotifer #2 Is similar to Vorticella - usually found in freshwater, but sometimes marine #3 possible ciliate (Euplotes?) #4 Copepodite? Larval copepod. #5 IDK Jay Wouldn't #3 be a flagellate? Being that is has 2 flagella?www.reef2reef.com
