Hello, All

Been in the hobby for over 15 yrs just started back with a new JBJ 25 all in one. Set the tank up fully on 12/30 added MicroBacter7 and day 2 the tank got cloudy and now day 3 tank is a tad bit better just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

Todays test readings = PH 7.8 Ammonia 0.50ppm Nitrite 0.50ppm Nitrate 5.0ppm Salinity 1.030 Temp 78.5

I know Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate are high just assuming this is part of the cycle maybe I should stop dosing Microbacter7?

The tank only has live sand and live rock.

A little cloudiness is nothing to worry about in a new tank. Especially one that is having bacteria added. I wouldn't worry or do anything different that you're doing. It will subside as the tank cycles.
 
Awesome I didn't think so just wanted some other's to say the same. This is the 1st time ever doing the Bacteria in the bottle start up and just wanted to see if anyone had the same happen using that product ! thanks
