The water in my cichlid tank looks like it has little particles floating around. It's a 55 gallon and I'm running a Penguin 200 and Aquaclear 110. I have an extra filter in the Penguin and crushed coral and purigen in Aquaclear (this is in addition to their "stock" payload).
It's overstocked per the advice of my LGS (not a big box store and tank has 16 small fish all <3"). Tank has been running 2 months and I have a Satellite + light. Substrate is sand.
Water parameters are all good, I am cautious what I feed and the amount (NLS cichlid formula and spirulna), and have frequent water changes. I'll usually skip a feeding day.
Is this micro bubbles, algae bloom, or other!?
Thoughts? Advice?
