Hi All,

My 20 Gallon JBJ AIO has been set up for around 2 months now and its starting to house a decent amount of coral / livestock. Just recently I have noticed that my water looks a tad cloudy (not bad at all) and I was wondering if there was something I could do about it. I have been reading up on UV Sterilizers and was wondering if this would help the cloudiness? I have read that some folks think they can eliminate beneficial life in the water column and adversely affect corals. I would like to avoid having to throw an ugly Protein skimmer in one of my all in one chambers if possible.
 
If you dont run carbon yet I would try that first.
I run carbon and switch it out every other week at the moment. I notice it is crystal clear for a few days following changing it out but then starts to cloud up again
