Biopellet = Cloudy Water

[paulsvang]

Is this normal guys. I just installed a biopellet reactor in my tank. 73 gallons. I only used 1/2 cup of bio pellets by Twofish. The outlet is directed to the skimmer. I'm not sure why after 3 days, my water is cloudy. There's barely any biopellets in the reactor. I'm confused. Any thoughts on this guys. Should I just ride it out. Will it clear out by itself?

I would do some water changes. Sounds like you have a bacterial bloom going on. My water was cloudy for a couple of days after installing my BP reactor, with some water changes it cleared up. Is your output from the rector being fed into your skimmer. Skimming is very important to remove the bacteria. JME

Yes it's pointed at the skimmer intake. I guess I will have to do some water changes. I was hoping it would clear up on its own
