As long as everything looks healthy and your tests show no problems, you're good. The cloudiness will likely settle on it's own. Maybe try doing slightly larger water changes, like 15% on a weekly basis (or 10% every 5 days). Your parameters will come into line quicker and it will help with keeping them there.

Good luck!

IS phosphate -0.25 BAD? what is phosphate should be?

[jalemboo]

Just did another water change today, around 20%. Water is looking better with less particle flowing around.

I also noticed the water looked green when i did my water change...??

phosphates dont kill your tank...ammonia and nitrates kill your tank..

phosphate just gives you unwanted aglae....

You got a JBJ 28 .... have you read on about refuguim mods?? go to nano-reef.com
you will learn lots more about what you can do with your tanks..and how to handle nano tanks...they are totally diff. from big tanks.... as they are more forgiving...

you are going way too fast...and please slow down.... i would actually take all that stock out espeically the anemime ....

i got a tunze 9002 on my nano.. and it works wonders.... add a refugium..and your tank will be far more healthy then now...
