How to eliminate the floating powder reef tank?

[edgar cao]

My SPS reef tank there are many very fine floating powder, whether there is a good way to remove?

Try using fine micron filter socks

I've been using 100-micron filter bag to clean it every 3 days, but the results are not satisfactory!

try a finer size like 50-10micron or look into a diatom filter....maybe try finding what the cause of this is...

Is this is a brand new settup?

Could be microbubbles.

check your calcium leavels if its to high the extra well float around.

Sounds to me like you don't have enough surface agitation and you're collecting dust particles. A powerhead angled toward the surface, or maybe an airstone, or maybe additional flow through an overflow should help.

More water going through the overflow should remedy the situation.
