HELP!!!! Cloudy water......

well last time i tried the pics wouldn't upload because they weren't the format that it was needed. how do i do it so it can work?

 

ok, i tried to upload the pics.

 

ok awesome it worked....
ok so in the first two pics you cant see the cloudiness that much. but in the other 2 where is sideways you can although the pic kinda made it worse...
the cloudiness is kinda like in picture 1 and 2 but with a little more white on it.

 

You're probably going to want to get rid of those fake plants, in the end they will give you more grief than beauty.
I'm still not sure about the cloudy water

any one else?

 

yea i dont like them either... but my mom does, she actually got them and well.. "what u gonna do" ( although im working on getting some anemones and feather dusters and zoas so that i can take those off)

 

i dont know. i would remove the fake plants like swagger said and then leave the light off for a 1-2 day and cover the tank with a thick blanket. and stay away from the nems for now

 

what does the blanket do?

 

if it is algea bloom related, it will deplete the algae's food source and dissapear. i didnt see any pics of coral. if theres non in the tank than this is a fast and safe method. but the first thing you need to do is find a good home for your tang. its not your tank being able to support the size of your fish, its your tanks ability to support the behavior of the fish. tangs need a lot of room to swim around.

 

+1 Definitely rehome the tang.
Also having the lights off and the blanket blocking out any excess lights, any stress that your fish are under at the moment will be slightly relieved.

 

You shouldn't need Prime if everything is GTG IMO, and I have never ever had my nitrates (NO3) high enough where I felt the need to treat chemically with Prime but having it on hand is good for NH3/NO2. If you are using this much, there is something else at hand, and I would investigate that. It's like putting a band aid on a tumor. Eventually the baby is gonna metastasize then you're tits up.

Yea. The Tang.
No anemone. Please.
Blanket is for smothering the alga

I had cloudiness issues in my nano and used micron filter in the intake area and cleared right up. For me, it was an issue of particulate matter and physical filtration. I am fortunate enough to actually get some of the suspended material and make a wet slide right in my study and use my microscope.
