If you notice the ocean has those same kinda fine particles floating around IMO it’s not a bad thing.personally, no. if you get close you’ll notice fine particles. if you sit back, you won’t notice a thing.

It was clear, I did a water change and within a couple of days the water turned cloudy (milky) and I noticed green algae on the rocks, the coral and fish are all doing great and parameters are all good. I am not sure what happened for it has never happened before when I have done a water change and now four days later it is still cloudy. I have been trying to figure out what to do. There are no dead fish or animals in the tank. Any suggestions?I've seen many reef aquariums where the water is so clear it seems that there is no water at all! Of course good glass or acrylic can play a part in that but it's mostly due to the ability to keep the water column clean! So let's talk about it today!
1. How clear is your aquarium water and does it matter to you?
2. What are the best ways you have found to keep your water clear?
@Broadfield has one of these super clear reefs!
I am using a HOB filter with carbon and it is not clearing the tank up, my water turned cloudy(milky) after I had decided to use the HOB filter and then I turned it off thinking that it might be the problem but the water has not cleared up.I use carbon myself in all my tanks but I personally think that you don’t need to spend a lot of money on filter rollers etc. to keep water crystal clear. Maintenance is enough provided you’re willing to do a bit extra but by all means, spending more on filtration takes the load off of you a bit.

Talk about your clam being happy as a clam.Mine is also gin clear. Of course I don't use any water, just gin.
I also have HOB. Most of my filtering is done by live rock and its amazing abilities.Definitely not, I would want it to be MUCH more clear.
I think if I had a sump and a skimmer, the water would be much more clear, but all I have is a HOB.
I have course and fine sponges, filter floss, chemi-pure elite, Seachem course media, and active carbon. It does an OK job, but still not as clear as I would like it to be. :/I also have HOB. Most of my filtering is done by live rock and its amazing abilities.
Filter floss is all I use in my chamber.
