Filter sock?

[Clement_jr]

mine got tons of very small particles flowing all around the tank. I don't know what they are, but fishes and corals are doing fine. so I didn't care much about those particles.

anyone knows what are those small particles?

[Slayer213]

I think they are fish waste... Im constantly having snowy water as well, but im overstocked... So have to live with it. I notice these particles are sometimes stirred up from the sand bed especially by bottom dwellers, even shrimps... So might wanna vacuum ur sandbed often.

What is the flowrate per hour?

[Ahhyi]

I'm using a 2800l return pump

[Ahhyi]

I notice when I change the direction of the wavemaker. Small white particles flys out

If its due to particles try using smaller size pp filter sock. Must wash often. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk2

Trap waste and particles before going into sump. Placed at the end of downflow pipe. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk2

It's a form of mechanical filtration which separates and filter off detritus and those small particles that u mention. U can place the socks at ur overflow output to sump. But depending on the size, if small, u may have to clean it quite often.

[reefer guy]

position your wavemakers/pump output in such a way that it doesn't disturb your sand yet it brings enough circulation in the tank. providing filter socks helps alot and would recommend you put one.

your flow rate against size of tank is too low; I am running almost 9000l/h on my 225g tank and I find it still not enough.

lastly, read about vodka dosing -- with proper application it can make your water crystal clear.

Yes, gobies, tilefish and pistolshrimps are the culprits in my tank... Constantly stirring up the sand
