Hi, my marine fish only aquarium is only about a month old, I have a really good external filter and the water was clear but it has now gone cloudy with a brownish tinge to it. My fish seem ok, anything I can do to clear the water? Any help greatly received. Thanks Andrea :Angel:

make sure you are doing a water change atleast once a month, 20 percent of the total water volume, that will help, and clean any filter pads you may have, are you running a protien skimmer?

silly question but have you put bog wood in the tank as that will make the water go rusty brown if so take it out and it should clear in a bout 2 weeks
