ok just seen your pics, it could be a bacterial bloom but it should have passed within a few days unless the carbon source was being continued.
other than that it could be precipitate from a alk overdose , test results will be off if this is the case but check your doser/amounts or double check the source |

That's the thing ita a fairly new tank and I do not dose anything at the moment and have not dosed anything in the past. Do you think carbon would help clear it up ?

If what you're seeing is a bacterial bloom, a UV unit might help. So might a fine mechanical filter, like a diatom filter. I would skim a bit wetter and stop feeding for a while, as well.

adding the nopox would have caused the serious bloom you see now depending on how much you used , not sure what the murkiness was prior though , the mysis could do it if it was just a little murky,so cant really say what it was or what caused it, perhaps something foreign found its way into the tank as well......alot can cause a small bit of cloudiness but most isnt serious and passes quickly. a uv would help but if theres no livestock in the tank a bit of time will allow it to pass , just go back to the basics and add only what the tank needs on a day to day basis. good luck!! |
