Went to bed last night all was well. Got up this morning all the fish were swimming I fed them they ate and I went on about my morning errands.
Lights at full intensity at 11 a.m. I get home at 11:15 a.m. and I see this
Reddish stuff floating all through the tank. All the fish are swimming and acting normally.
11:30 a.m. wavemaker turns on within about 10 minutes I see this
Tank is super super cloudy and the fish are seeking shelter. Which is typically normal and after about a half an hour they typically start swimming out and just start gliding through the tank.
I change the filter sock and I check all of my parameters.
125 gallon DT with a 40 gallon sump
Ammonia 0.25
nitrite 0
nitrate 20
pH 8.2
It is now 9 p.m. eastern time I have not seen any of my fish and looking through the tank at where they usually hide but I don't see them. My blue hippo Tang is the only one out swimming but is huffing and puffing like mad.
This is a picture of the tank now.
It's a smidge clearer but my clean filter sock that I just replaced 7 hours ago it's already dirty contemplating on changing it again.
Anyone know what's going on and what I can do about it?? If you say do a water change I've got 60 gallons of fresh saltwater mixed up.
