Do you have substrate? if so did you rinse it well? substrate dust can cling to the glass giving it a murky look happend to me.
|
I never advocate 100% water changes, its too much and too quick of a change. Try smaller changes on a daily or semi-daily basis to see if that improves your situation.
|
Dont jump the gun with water change just yet. You should try to isolate the problem..if any...
|
If you have fine sand substrate it could be the dust from the sand.
|
I do have a fine sand substrate, its live reef aragonite. I did not rinse it before I put it into the tank. It was murky for the first few days and then cleared up, but since I have put in my clean up crew and a fighting conch the water has been consistently murky.
Are they simply stirring it up so much that it can't settle? I have 25 hermit crabs 1 fighting conch 1 feather duster 1 dark purple tube anenome and a handful of snails P.S. The tank only has coraline algae growing on the glass. I supplement the snails and conch with drop in algea pellets. |

So what about the rest of your parameters? Do you run a skimmer?
|
2nd that what about a skimmer they filter out crap that makes your water clear?
The reason they run ozone is to make the dirt stick to the air bubbles in the skimmer better giving you clear water without the green tint. If you have pods and small pistol shrimp your water should be fine. Hope that helps a skimmer is one of the most important pieces of equipment next to the live rock. The skimmer will remove your small pistol shrimp though along with all the other crap. |
Ozone makes the nasties stick to air. Was wondering what it did, Thx
