So my tank is fairly new 1.5 months old. It's cycled. I've been "feeding" it almost everyday with frozen food and params are at 0 for Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate, Phosphate. Alk was 8.0 last I tested it. The tank is an Innovative Marine Lagoon 50. I've had some gorgonians in it for a little over a week and a sympodium as well, also a sponge. CUC consisting of a few hermits and nassuris and dwarf cerrith snails. They all seem to be doing fine.
About 1-2 days ago, all of a sudden the water has gotten cloudy. Not like milky cloudy just not crystal clear like it had been. I don't ever remember this happening with my other tank as it was going through the "break in" cycle and was wondering why this might be happening.
I've done all sorts of things before I noticed this change but can't imagine why one would have caused this, such as: changed out filter sock for a media basket with sponges (charcoal, phosphate, regular). To help with the cycle I was adding bacteria (continuum bacter gen-M) everyday but I stopped after about 2 weeks when I was getting all 0's while feeding my tank. I did does the bacteria before the cloudiness started but at a much lower level. I removed a whole lot of cheato from an AquaFuge that is running on the tank as well. Those are the only things that I can think of that I did and don't understand how/if those could have caused the cloudiness. I did replace a media basket/sponges set up with a filter sock last night to see if that would help but so far I haven't noticed any change.
Any thoughts would be most welcome and as usual thanks!
