My tanks water is cloudy

Corry123 · Jul 5, 2014

Ok guys, I've been into saltwater tank for a year and a half now, and my 90g is cycled. But what has happened the last two mornings is, I wake up and the tanks water is very cloudy, it goes away through out the day. But it just started happening, I wake up and it's cloudy, not sure why? I have a mystery wrasse, and possibly a yellow watchman goby, if he is still in there. Any ideas of what could be stirring up my water, or if I am doing something wrong?

It could be the goby stirring up the sand. Assuming you have sand.

Don't Mystery Wrasses sleep buried in the substrate? Maybe he's shaking off his covers

It probably is just one of the fish

Your water is chemically unbalanced. If you did a recant water change or dosed anything may be the cause. It should clear up in a day or two

Well it gets cloudy in the morning and then clears up at night, and I haven't done a water change or dosed anything yet

Can you share a little more about your setup?

I wouldn't think a little sand cloud would make the whole tank cloudy for a period of time. more information would be helpful.

if you could get a picture of the tank when it's cloudy, that would probably help.
