    cloudy water

    So this morning I woke up to a crystal clear tank; not sure why or how. But when my lights transitioned to daytime lights (stock bio cube lights) the cloudiness came back. I thought it was the golby, but now I think its the lights. Thoughts?

    cloudy water

    My water is super cloudy ever since I added a Goby to the tank. Will this eventually clear up or does having this type of fish in the tank make it impossible to maintain clear water?

    IceCap 15 reef sump add on

    Thank you for your feedback. I've decided to not try to add a sump; I don't believe my water to be clear enough and my nitrate can't seem to go down. My tank is still circulating (week 2) however I am not sure why these factors exist in a tank with no live stock. Any recommendations for...
