Thank youwelcome aboard the r2r board! hello from PA!
Increase flow, run 100 micron filter socks, and combine a flocculent like KZ reef snow with heavy skimming. It should clear up pretty quickly.Thank you for the welcome and the reply.
If this is the case what do I do about it?
This likely has come off the sand or sediment from the sump and has floated and it seems you have insufficient flow at the overflow and you need to open the flow some more so it's not pooling at the boxAfter being out of the hobby for a few years we decided to fire the old tank up. It sat empty inside the house for about 3 years. The rocks were dried and packed away in the garage. After giving all of the equipment a good cleaning we put water in 2 days ago. Today we have round white particulates floating on the top of the water (see photo). In the sump there are white clumps.
All the details I have...
150g display (currently running 3 wave makers and return pump)
40g sump (has skimmer sitting in it but not currently running and heater)
Prime added to RODI water in tank
Salinity was 1.021 yesterday today is 1.019
No other parameters tested at this point
An idea what's happening here?
Thanks!
