water not clear

[M88A2]

i have a 75g tank with a 20g sump. its been up for about two months now but my water doesnt seem to be very clear. It's not milk so i dont think its bacteria. It looks more like organic debre (fish poop) I have 1 mp40 and an mp10 for flow along with about 500gph from my pump. any suggestions?

maybe try a HOB filter and see if that clears it up or cut the powerheads and see if it settles

Don't let it settle out, it will cause problems later. Use a HOB or canister filter with some type of polishing cartridge. If that doesn't work then use fresh well rinsed carbon.

How many fish and coral do u have?
Any LR and SB?

i have about 70ish lbs of rock that started as dry. there is about 3" of sand (fiji pink). my sump has some more smaller pieces of rock and chaeto. i am also running a phosban reactor with just carbon in it. my fish include lubbock's fairy, yellowfin flasher, mccosker's flasher, red velvet fairy, and 2 occy clowns. i have 8 head of branching hammer, 6 head of frogspawn, some tri color acro, red planet, 2 kinds of stags, oj digi, watermelon chalice, 2 kinds of acans, 1 blasto, 2 kinds of favias, and 2 kinds of zoas. other than the hammer and frog spawn, non of the corals are more than 2" frags. also, most of the fish are 2-2.5" except for the red velvet thats about 3 and the mccoskers thats about 1.75

Are you sure it's not micro bubbles?

[M88A2]

pretty sure. my plumbing to my fuge is T'ed of from the return pipe. there are no bubbles accumulating on any of the chaeto or rocks. the baffles in the sump seem to be working pretty well.

Chemipure works really well.
