Hello Everyone,
I have a RedSea 750XL tank with a skimmer and I put some extra rock in the sump as some said it would be a good additional filtration. My tank is just recently cycled, I had a film on the top of the tank which is no longer there. The only concern I have is my tank is never really clear, it’s always slights whitish or cloudy, I just added some corals I have an elegance coral, bubble coral, frog coral and hammer coral. I really need some tips on helping to clear up my tank (I’ve heard of some bio rock which some people have used, any views on that) and also I need some help on my light settings for my LPS corals, I have 3 of the RedSea Reef 90 led lights. Please any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you guys!
 
Did you start with dry rock or live rock? What is ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate at? If you really just finished the cycle and you started with dry rock it’s way too early to add coral and they’ll probably die. The cloudiness is most likely an algae bloom.
