lobster digging in his substrate

[Natadactyl]

I was just wondering if there was anything i could do about slightly cloudy water! My lobster digs around in his substrate but was wondering if anything could help with that! Not a big deal but the cloudiness bugs me lol!!! Doesnt look as nice! Any tips would be appreciated!

Run carbon in your filter area

Already have carbon in the filter! My tank guy said its common but i want clearwater if possible lol

You may need to change it more often, or add more than the recommended amount for your tank size. Cleaning the substrate pretty good during WC can help as well.

Ok i will try your suggestions! More carbon equals better filtration i guess!!! My guy kicks up alot of dust lol!!!

carbon wont help much. Natural instinct is too dig and detritus will occasionally become suspended in which carbon wont do anything to stop this " Cloud" created

I have a reef lobster in my tank. He doesn’t seem to mind the bare bottom
