Foggy Water

[frankin09]

Hello, my water goes foggy and then clear, it is very random. Could anyone explain why this could happen. I only have 2 clowns, and coral banded shrimp and a six line weasel.

Note:
The tank has been running a little over a month

Bacterial bloom is more than likely your issue. There are common with newly setup tanks. Just give it some time and it should clear itself up.

can adding a clean up crew clear it up?

can adding a clean up crew clear it up?

They can take care of uneaten food and diatoms/algae, but the water will continue to do that for some time.

Get a Green Killing Machine to help reduce it.

Which one would you recommend?

Which one would you recommend?

24W if you can.

Just know that 24W will go in your water, so watch temps.

Will it heat up the water?

Will it heat up the water?

Yep, 24Watts worth, but if your home stays cool, it shouldn't be an issue.

I have about 100W worth of gear in my 109 and the heater still kicks in.
