Ok, I am a touch confused and hoping someone can enlighten me. I don't quite understand why this is happening. I understand that the water clouding is an inbalance in the water chemistry and should clear up in time. But why is it clear in the morning but turns cloudy (white not green) by mid day and by evening hard to see back glass. The only thing I know that is happening is at night my lights and pressurized co2 shuts down. Is the co2 a catalyst in making the bacteria bloom...and is it possible this bacteria dies off during the down time at night? I did notice this cloudiness coincided with the point at which I have the co2 adjusted to now. I have yet to achieve the "green" zone but getting close ( Overflow filters suck with co2....at 3 bubbles per sec and still not there yet
)
