Tank always seems hazy..

Reefin' Alaska · Nov 17, 2020

I can't figure it out. IM 25 Lagoon. InTank caddy's. Floss/chemipure in one. Floss/Marine pure in the other. Eshopps Nano Skimmer (Which is really only running so I can use a C02 scrubber.) and a Chaeto Reactor. 1/2 gallon water change every day with Versa's.

I cannot get this thing to be pristine clear. It always seems to have a slight haze to it. Has 2 clowns and a Flameback Angel. Few corals which are doing well. I've never had this issue with any other tank I've had. Tank is about 3 months old.

KZ Coral Snow does a good job of getting water clear. Also how often to you replace the chemipure? I use carbon and replace every two weeks.

I just started using Chemipure, in the hopes it would help clear things up. Been a couple days, still seems a bit hazy.

I am leaning on adding a GFO reactor or running a UV to help clear mine up. I'm in the same boat.

Have you tried using a UV? It could perhaps be bacterial.

UV light would help.

I'm a fan of UV lights too. My water was crystal clear after I installed one on my 75. It wasn't even a question when I set up my 40B, UV Light was a must. Make sure you size the light and flow from the pump to match the manufacturers specs, if you don't get the right size pump the UV light won't be very effective.
