I assume you system is running? you have a sump I assume. Try putting in some filter floss or something similar at petco or lfs should have it. Do you have filter sock?

 

[pmorphb28]

Yes the system is running. Skimmer as well. The eshopp adv 300 didnt come with a filter sock. Would seachempurigen help as well? I haveso, eof that.

Skimmer will pull it out over time all will be fine.

run some carbon, add some water clarifier

From personal use the filter floss cleans it right up and is cheap.

Once the bacteria levels increase, they will bind to the participles causing the cloudiness and they will precipitate out within a week! All part of the process, no need to worry
