Im having a cloudy water issue. Its not super cloudy just hazy. All of the fish seem fine and the corals are all still showing nice color and PE. My parameters are -
SG 1.025
Alk 10-11 (in the middle with API)
Ca - 400 (API)
Mag 1380 (salifert)
Trates, Trites, PO undetectible (API)
Temp - 79 - 80 (lights off and on)
I run a fuge with cheato. I also have carbon in a bag in my filter sock.
Now I have been trying to build up my calcium some using 2 part. I use Oceans Blend. Could adding too much calcium in relation to the alkalinity part have caused this? I have been adding the calcium 3:2 in relation to the alkalinty that I am adding (3 measures of ca to 2 measures of alk).
Is there a better way to up my Calcium? My tank is SPS dominant though many are smaller frags/colonies.
Like I said everyone seems happy and there is obvious growth on my corals.
This cloudiness happened about a week and a half ago. I did a 2 10 gallon water changes 2 days apart (my tank is a 75 gallon by the way) and it cleared up.
So let me hear what you all think.
