No it will take some time while filtration breaks in and all the dust settles.Why would my fallowing tank of about 1 - 1.5 weeks be cloudy? Should this be of concern? I have a microscope if you'd like me to take a sample.
No, running for about 4 months, then started fallow.
Did you rinse your sand? Filter floss may helps if you don’t already use it.
Not a new tank.
I do use filter floss. And sand is relatively clean by now.
In that case must be bacterial. It doesn’t look too bad. Maybe UV would remove it. We are just guessing
Well, my uv broke during the start of fallow. But didn't think it would make my tank this cloudy.
You need a uv it you can just wait it out if no fish/ corals in dangerBump: Still getting cloudier...
I believe it to be a diatom bloom... I'm making a new post. Yes I am working on getting a new uv.
Diatoms are on surfaces and brown. The cloudiness is not diatoms.
Well, take a look.

I have looked at it. The most common types are a cigar and the triangle shaped ones for diatoms.Well, take a look.
Aquarium microscopy findings (vids + pics). Pls identify..
In the videos: #1 is probably a copepodite, but could be a rotifer #2 Is similar to Vorticella - usually found in freshwater, but sometimes marine #3 possible ciliate (Euplotes?) #4 Copepodite? Larval copepod. #5 IDK Jay Wouldn't #3 be a flagellate? Being that is has 2 flagella?
