Hello everyone, for some time now I have been struggling with cloudy water conditions that i have narrowed down to some old purple Real Reef rock. During the aquascaping process, (the tank is 8 weeks old) the rock got exposed to air for about 24-48 in open air. The piece of rock i would guess weights 3-5 pounds. I also have about 18 pounds of Carib sea dry rock in there as well. My best guess is that the bacteria and live critters died on the rock during that process and are now releasing "nutrients" into the water. Since the whole incident started I have been doing 25% water changes every week and I'm also running carbon.
