I just mixed up 200 gallons of brightwell neomarine. However, the tank water is cloudy. I suppose it is precipitation and I should just wait for it to settle?
Salt was mixed as directed on box (1/2 cup per gallon) in room temp 0 tds ro/di in 25 gallon batches then added to the tank. I mixed with a 1000gph pump till it ran clear (about 3 hours). Once the tank was full (and slightly cloudy) I brought it all up to temp. Cloudiness has decreased but not gone away.
There is no sand bed or running skimmer. pH now is 8.2, sal is 35ppt
I’m considering running my skimmer to aerate and drop the ph, adding dry ice, or just waiting for all the precipitation to settle. Any advice?
I’ve never had this issue before.
