Hello everyone,
Have had my first saltwater tank for about 7 months.
30 Gallons
Livestock:
2 Percula Clowns
1 Mandarin Goby
2 Nassarius Snails
2 Trochus Snails
1 Arrow Crab
GSP
Made some adjustments last night to add some Xenia that the girlfriend wanted in the tank (I know they are practically weeds) I added some copepods to the tank for the Mandarin since I didn't see much on the substrate or tank wall.
woke up this morning to a much cloudier tank. What could be the cause? Could it still be settling after moving things around or possible algae bloom? Also, been getting what looks like sludge? Am I right?
Pictures included turned down blue light so it's easier to see.
I would assume just a vacuum and water change to fix this.
