cloudy

Hello! Let me first give you some background on myself and my tank. I am not an expert in reefing but I am not new to it either. I have grown several successful reefs and farms. But like all of us I have forgotten and become impatient about some of the new tank uglies. My tank is a 62g...

Good news, dinos are fought back. Bad news, water is very cloudy. So I have a 90 gallon aquarium that started with dry rock and dry sand. Super low nutrients. I didn't know that was a dinos recipe. I did a 3 day blackout (no corals no fish) just inverts. My fish are at my lfs for medicine...

My bi color angel has a cloudy eye for 3 days now. I set up a quarantine tank last night. Im curious what medicine I need to get to help him out. Im assuming its a bacterial infection. Closes place to get meds is petco as well.

So it all started with my aquarium being COMPLETELY fine, 3 months had passed since I first started it and everything was thriving including my corals. One day I notice I have some red things growing on my rocks and sand so I take it to my local fish store (WWC) and they tell me I most likely...

Hey all! I’ve just set up my Waterbox 20, and have added my saltwater, and after 24 hours, added my Dr Tim’s and ammonia chloride. I’ve taken out my filter socks, and only have two sponges, carbon, and bio balls as filtration. My sand was mostly rinsed prior to adding, the water was coming out...

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.

Hi all! Newby here. I finished a "fishless cycle" then introduced a clown last week and turned on the lights. Water has been really clear all along, but today it has started to get cloudy. Any suggestions? water parameters: salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8.5, pH 8.0, temp 77.1, nitrates 20...

I managed to royally mess up my most recent batch of saltwater mix by putting way too much salt in the mixing tub and then trying to dilute it back down to a reasonable salinity. I didn't know this at the time, but doing it that way causes pretty significant calcium carbonate precipitation so...

Two days ago I purchased a mini caret anemone and a bit of the live rock it was on. Just walked into the room and the tank is super cloudy!! What’s going on?!?! I also saw a red worm on the glass which I’ve never seen before. Worried about the other fish and corals in there. Anyone have any...

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...

Why is my tank so foggy

Hey fellas, So I currently have a 40 g frag tank that has been set up for around 3 months now. No problems until now! So I woke up 2 days ago and noticed my water has gotten extremely cloudy maybe 1-2” visibility. I am currently running filter socks as well as 40lbs of live rock in the sump as...

Hi Reefers, My tank has been running for almost 4 to 5 years and recently I been having issues with nitrate. Note - I do not overfeed my fish or coral - I will feed them prawn and fish pellets for approx. 2 mins before removing all uneaten food. Currently my water parameters are: Nitrate -...

So I've had a 20 high tank set up since January. I added all dry rock, used some Dr.Tim's ammonia to start the cycle and waited. It's been cycled for a while now. It slowly got cloudy which I expected, so I waited. And waited. And waited, as everyone seems to say. It has not gone away. People...

Can anyone enlighten me on what this is and/or a cause? First time I’ve ever noticed it. White/greyish film at the water’s surface. If I gently place a paper towel on the surface, it soaks much of it up and I can’t see as much from looking below. In the picture, the white lines circle where the...

I noticed last night that my Achilles Tang has a bit of a cloudy eye. I have done some research and seems it could be from a tussle with another fish. thinking about that, I did see my blue tang have his upper and lower fins damaged a little bit, could it be he tried to become king of the tank...

Hi, everyone. I'm getting back into the hobby after a brief, 2-year foray into it about 15 years ago. I'm setting up my new tank and I've run into a puzzling issue. First off, here is my set-up: CAD Lights 68 gallon Versa tank (35.5 x 21.5 x 19.5) 18 gallon sump Return pump: Jebo AP3500...

So I put a new set of Recipe 2 Ca and alk gallons online a couple nights ago and I just noticed that the alkalinity part isn't turning the water cloudy anymore as it goes in the water. Same reagents and formula as always. (About 300+ grams/gallon.) Same old bag of arm & hammer. Anyone have...

Ok, so I have a 75 gallon saltwater tank that has been running for just over a year. It has been relatively easy to maintain. However, about six to eight weeks ago it suddenly (almost overnight) clouded out to a point I could not see an inch into my tank. I've since added a skimmer and it has...
