[leonard2k]

hi there,

i have small particals moving around my tank.

well i have put filter socks but then seems no effect is still there

i wonder if any solution?

i want to make my water crystal clear hee hee

Depends on what the particles are. If detritus then filtering and skimmer will usually remove them. Bt if they are pods they may continue to reproduce. So finding the cause of the particles will enable you to find the best solution.

Can check..How many microns filter sock or what type u use?

hi bro,

I find, using and change the carbon regularly will help in making the water clearer.

I am using Rowa Carbon.

As for particles; usually they will settle down after a few days

Or get flow down to your overflow/sump;

unless your wavemaker is very strong and keeps blowing off the bottom of the tank.

There is a product; I think called "It's Clear"; that one will help too.

Check with Fuel.

Cheers!

hmm ic

the filter socks, i using is from aquamarine, cost about $18 one of the most fine sock i seen

how can i know is it pod or just detritus?

[leonard2k]

may be i change direction of wave maker and get its clear and get a bag or carbon

[leonard2k]

well i suspect there is fine sand that is the particals.

because my sponge have collected some yellowish fine sand

and also after research my tank good bateria might not be enough due to i think just set up 1 month
