|  Waters still hazy
I posted a week ago about hazy water in my 90, a few suggested a baterial bloom. I am thinking that may have been the case cause nothing else explains it so i cut my feeding in half and still the same story. Someone said to do a 30% water change...did 5%, maybe another 5% tomorrow. I thought maybe my lighting was to week...put a 432watt tek t5 system on it 2day...still slightly hazy. Wheres my crystal clear water? how long can a baterial bloom last??? |

Try running some fresh carbon. Usually my tanks clear up in about 20 mins depending on the amount of carbon I run. | |

Hey ibm geek, no im not dosing anything other that frozen "rods fish food" I went a little overboard for a week to make sure the hippo tang was eating but since have stopped. Once i sit and think about it....it was a tad bit hazy b4 i started feeding. I am running a euro reef rs 135 which is pulling a ton of dark brown/green foam and water from the tank and im also running 2 units of chemi pure. Im starting to get aggravated. | |

What additives, if any are you adding? A filter sock will help also. | |

If its a greenish color, thats an algae bloom caused by someone using windex or something like it when cleaning around the tank or on the glass. That happened to me once and I had to buy a UV filter to get rid of it.

Kinda sounds like something is either stirring the sand or calcium may be precipitating out somehow.
