Water Condition
 

Ok, so I've had my new tank set up since May, and I still can't get my water crystal clear. I see so many pictures on here and the water is pristine. Mine isn't so much cloudy as it has little particles always floating through it. I have foam filter the water before it reaches the sump water. I'm skimming, and have some rock and cheato in the sump as well.
I don't what I'm doing wrong, or not doing at all. Any help from you pros?

Some more info on your system would help.

Size tank?
Type of skimmer?
How much Flow?
RO or Tap Water?
What do you have for fish/corals?

Those particles might just be microbubbles coming from your skimmer or air getting into your return line? I had this happen with my skimmer a few weeks ago. Fixed it by wrapping an open ended sock around my skimmers outlet.

I get particles in the water column whenever my goby decides to dig a new home, which is like once a week :mad:

powerheads could be kicking up excess detritus that's collecting somewhere? Do you have large fish? When they poop it is messy!

Size tank? 100 gal
Type of skimmer?Coral Life 125
How much Flow?return pump has 1290 gph/ and 2-koralia 3's

Would a UV sterilizer work or are they over rated?
