Cloudy Water

[lkc]

I have a 12G Current USA Aquapod. Itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s got a set of low intakes, mid intakes and overflow at the top. Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve already sealed the lowest intake and about a week ago, I used a pretty hefty amount of superglue (Gel from LFS for fragging) to seal the mid intakes. Since then, Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve got a cloudy water issue. It was really bad a couple of days after so Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve done two large water changes and the cloudiness is abating ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ but is coming back a little every day. Do you think itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s from an overabundance of super glue? I havenââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t done anything else to the tank in quite some time. The corals donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t seem to be affected. I guess Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ll keep doing water changes and see what happens. On the other hand it would really upset the corals if I went in there and started chipping away at the excess superglue. I threw an extra bag of carbon in there on top of the bag of Pura Complete. Does anyone have any input on what else I could do to clear up this problem?

i would continue doing water changes. It seems like thats the best option. If you have another tank you could quarantine the coral and fish untill the water is no longer cloudy.

Well, the corals/fish don't seem at all affected. I think I'll keep up with the water changes and see if this all sifts out.
Thanks WHiteout!

I agree with the steps you're taking, water changes and carbon should be a good way to go. Good luck with getting it cleared up!
