Whyis my tank cloudy?
My tank in the last hour has gone from clear to white cloudy.
I tested my parameters a couple hours ago Alk 6 Mag 1250 Calcium 460 Nitrate 5.0 Phosphate 0 Lights are almost off but corals and fish look fine. |

I don't think so, I've had snails do this and it's a different cloudy look right now. Everything looks ok though.

You're using a doser, yes ?
|
all nems accounted for??
|
Doser has been going for a week. But not seeing any stability, well not true, alk hasn't moved past 6.
|
You're dosing Ca at least 3 hrs or more apart from your alk?
When I started dosing I had a tough time getting anything to move until my Mg was over 1350 or so. You probably already know there a special relationship there between the 3 (Mg, Ca, and dkh) that all hinges on your Mg levels. Gotta get the Mg levels right first, but yours isn't all that bad, so all I got is maybe you're dosing Ca and alk too close together? |
Only 1 nem, it's fine.
Not dosing calcium as its already high. I've had Mykas guide open for a week, I understand the relationship, I can get the mag up, it won't stay. I had the mag at 1450, dropped the dose slightly but I guess too much. I'm out of tests for mag as of tonight, have ordered more. |
We may be on the wrong track here, but ...
Was your doser set to run sometime before you noticed the clouding ? If so, I'd suggest you test your Alk and Ca tonight to see if either are high - just to rule it out Has it cleared since you started this thread ? |
I have the alk set to start dosing in the evening (5 pm) and mag starts in the morning (8 am).
It has not cleared at all since I started the thread, I will test calcium and alk and post. |
