Probably coming from your ammonia. Is your tank cycled yet?

I'm wondering where the ammonia is coming from if you have no nitrItes and that high of nitrAtes. What do you have in the tank?

 

[schmilnik]

yes tank was fullt cycled and I have 2 clownfish, spotted puffer, pinstripe wrasse and yellow tang.

What sized tank? If you update "my info" on the home page, with your tank size/critters/equipment, we can help you better.

The problem is your ammonia. It is too high causing the cloudy water. Frequent PWC`s are needed.

I did a 25% pwc and it looks worse after 4 hours waiting. It looks cloudy as well as little particles everywhere coming from my CPR bak pak2. What should I do?

 

[melosu58]

Are these little particles micro air bubbles by any chance?

 

[schmilnik]

well thats what I thought it was at first but I dont think they are.

hmmm...if they are coming from your skimmer they could easily be micro bubbles. Can you shut your skimmer down for a couple of hours and see if that helps?
