I have lot's of filter floss if you need and water clarifyer. I've used the clarifyer on frag swaps when my water gets cloudy and it works miracles.

 

[reefwatcher]

No buffers for me I'm thinking algae bloom

 

[jonnyu]

I need to build a tray for filter Floss to make it easy to keep up with it socks a pain but does keep water clear

Is the wp40 moving your sand around?

How long has this been going on after MP40 placement? Give it time. Dont draw quick conclusions. As long as all inhabitants are happy, and water parameters are OK, sit back and give it a few days. Nothing will be harmed by cloudy water.

Well tank cleared back up. Think the wp40.

Thats why i advocate PATIENCE!!! Sometimes what appears to be an issue ends up not being one.

Anytime you add a lot of flow at once, it will pick up all kinds of nastiness from the bottom and off the rocks.

I agree. I figured things would work it self out once I tested water and everything is fine.
