 Small particales in water Let me give you the specks on my tank 55 gallon AGA reef ready ProClear 75 wet/dry SuperSkimmer 65 (not currently hooked up) fluval 204 filter My water has fine particales that are suspended in the water it has been like this for around a week or so and i ahve done several water changes with no change made. I also have polishing pads as well as small particale trap pads in my fluval. The tank water looks crystal clear when you look from the top or the front. From side to side ( long wyas) it seems to be a bit cloudy. All the paramaters of the tank test out fine ( i am at work dont have this mornings in front of me). Please help!!!! i cant figure this one out  |

| Re: Small particales in water Carefull on doing to manny water changes. Are you cycling your tank right now? When you use water changes for your system how do you mix it? How bad are the particales? |

| Re: Small particales in water Your going to have debris. Its the ocean...you will see all sorts of organisms and poop and what not. A UV staralizer would help the clearity |

| Re: Small particales in water Not saying this is what is happening to you, but I came home yesterday to see all these white dots floating around and also all over the glass. I looked closer and could see they were pods. I had a pod explosion so while right now my tank isn't looking nearly as clean I realize that the pods will grow and it will all be good here shortly. Just happy to have a ton more pods for the tank so it will give everyone some free food and help keep the tank clean. |

| Re: Small particales in water That's what I was thinking Native but he says the skimmer isn't hooked up. But they could be coming from the canister!
