RedSea 650 Water Clarity

Thanks for your replies.

I did post the parameters.

I test my water once a week.

I do have fine substrate that's my initial thought too and been monitoring my sand and it doesn't seem that's the case as none of my powerhead are pointing down.

Have you tried Coral Snow? Sounds like you just have suspended particles, coral snow will bind these for the skimmer to remove. It's Zeovit so expensive but there is a DIY version that works exactly the same, it's what I use and give crystal clear water.

Yeah I saw someone else mention coral snow and some say mb7 too.

Do you use any filter socks or filter floss? maybe try a fine filter floss or sock for the next bit see if that clears anything out

Id start with mechanical filtration before adding anything else to start

I have to 200 socks and floss too been changing them every 4 days and I used a canister for 2 nights In a row with no help.

what size sump and what is the turnover rate? powerheads in tank?
I don't see how filter floss wouldent remove the haze... must be pretty fine stuff. When you do a water change does the old water look cloudy in the bucket? does it settle after time.....

[kenman999]

my sump is 75g
flow rate 7000 litres per hour
4 maxi jets
2 wave makers

When I do the water change the water seems cloudy too but hard to say because I always blow the live rocks with a turkey baster before water changes.
