But i wish i had found this site before setting it up as i went from the word of the fish supplier that you need to put in fish to cycle it. my Question is my water is a bit cloudy not that bad. Is this normal as im just learning the saltwater side of this hobby?


thanks for your time

When I first started my water was like that for a few days. give it time, and make sure you have your pumps and power heads running
