Hey, I'm new to the site and a beginner with marine tanks. Could you help me?
I have 37gal tank + 20 gal sump that has been running for 3 months. Almost all of my live rock is in the sump. I have 3 crabs in the tank and small powerhead.
I have 0 nitrites 0 nitrate and 0.25 ammonia.
My problem is that my tank water is cloudy. How do I get rid of it. How does one achieve crystal clear water like I see in all of your photos..???
I've cut down the lighting to 3 hours a day to try and reduce some cyanobacteria that has being starting to grow in the sump.
Is my flow not strong enough? I have 3 areas where filtering occurs. In the overflow, my canister pump (that I use instead of just a regular pump), and in the sump.
What should I do?
I could add a photo if you think it would help.
I really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
