[Cole2h2]

Tank has been running for a month, i have 2 ocelarrus, 5 hermits and a emerald crab alongg with 4 frags, its all cloudy and looks like some algea of some sort? Doni need to water change ? Or what is it still cycling?

What are your water parameters and how many water changes (and what %) have you done? If it wasn’t cycled I suspect everything would be dead or dying. You probably need some snails in your cleanup crew. Cerith work good on the sandbed.

You should be doing weekly water changes in that tank (the exact amount and frequency is more dependent on your test kit results rather than weekly like I am suggesting, but typically weekly worked for me with that tank). If you haven't cleaned the filter sponge or anything, it might just be crud rotting in it and causing the bloom of bacteria you are seeing.
