I think i'm having an issue with cloudy water and low nutrients. tank is 7 weeks old and has cycled. Problem is after I did my water change last week i'm at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrate. My water became cloudy yesterday after i added a xenia, torch and a skunk cleaner shrimp. I did turn my skimmer off for 3 hours but nothing else has changed. my phosphate has dropped from .09 earlier in the week to 0.00 and alk is at a 7.4, down from 7.6 earlier this week. Calcium is at 450. What could be causing my lack of nitrates?
Set up is a 100 gallon display with 30 gallon sump. i run filter floss in cups in the 1st chamber along with a bioblock, 150SS varios skimmer (lowest setting right now) in the 2nd chamber with some rubble. that's all i have for filtration. plenty of movement in the display. i have a orbit 4 gyre and nero 7 along with 2 random flow return lines.
any ideas? Do i need to do a water change?
edit: other livestock consist of
2 clowns
diamond goby
2 emerald crabs
10 hermits
5 nasarrius
fire shrimp
duncan coral
kryptonite
1 acan
corals look great btw. fish are doing great
