hazy water

[mellowyellow]

the water in our SW tank is and has remained hazy through cycling and now,2 weeks later even after routine 10/20% PWC. The tank's been up and running for nine weeks. It's 30 gal. with LR and four chromis. Our freshwater tank is pristine. I'm wondering if this phenominum will eventually clear itself or if anyone here at AA can suggest another cure. Our plants are plastic and we also have two stars and two snails. Help. I'm trying NOT to get sterile.

Are you running any carbon in your filtration ??

What are your water parameters?

If this is during the cycling then yes a little hazy is expected. What are your ammonia, nitrites and nitrate reading.

My params are Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10, ph 8.2. And, my filter is carbon.

Do you have a lot of powerheads? They might just be consistantly kicking up some crap. I would replace your carbon and do a large water change. Turn some of your powerheads (if you have them) to see if things settle.
