Cloudy tank

[guitareefs]

I have a 300 gallon tank with a 60 gallom sump. Bubble Magus 9 skimmer and bio pellet reactor.

Only change in the past week is adjusting the flow (increased) in the biopellet reactor and I dosed bacteria like usual

I also was out of nori so i fed the tangs Omega One Veggie rounds. I added 3 tablets

It slowly got cloudy after the veggie rounds.

Any ideas why it's so cloudy now?

If you increased the flow through the bio-pellet reactor, perhaps there isn't enough contact time with the water and bio-pellets for the bio-pellets to consume all your nutrients so the bacteria in the tank are taking up the excess? #reefsquad any ideas?

Could be a coincidence with a bacteria bloom. Otherwise, Did you rinse the pellets before you added them?

 

[guitareefs]

Yes i rinsed them

Yes i rinsed them

While laying here thinking. You added bacteria like usual. It could have triggered a Bacteria bloom. Even a small one can cloud up a tank. Is it any clearer now?

Nope. Still cloudy

I lowered the flow through the reactor, but still cloudy
