Hi,
Experiencing reduced visibility in my tank, it's a 7 feet tank and looking at it side way I can barely see the other side due to cloudiness. It used to be very clear.
I did a WC today and put some water in a white bucket to compare water color (attached).
Tanks is about 9 months old, fish only and i'm feeding relatively heavily. I added carbon 2 weeks ago in hope it would help, but it doesn't seem to make any affect.
Tank params:
Water volume: 260g
Nitrate: 2
Phosphate: 0.02
Salinity: 1.0245
Alk: 6.1
Calcium: 405
Mag: 1260
I also see some increased algae growth lately.
How should I fight this? should I try turning off lights for a few days?
Thanks
