tank looks dull

[new_to_marine]

dunno y is my tank so dull. juz changed e water. issit becoz my tank is nt glass ?

[jem]

what is your tank made of?..

acrylic?..

it can be the cause of your lighting too

[hammy]

do u mean dim ??

if ur tank is not make of glass , most likely it's acrylic which had better reflective index than glass .

most likely not material then , might just be the lighting ?

but again , dull??

after changing water , tank become dull??

[new_to_marine]

nope. i juz started it nt long ago. toaday restart e whole thing and start water cycle again. so i change 80% of e water. no light. no skimmer. yup. acrylic tank. izzit becoz i dun hav a skimmer?

i think the correct word is cloudy lah bro.. not dull.. but i nver change 80% water sia.... even my FW tank i only change 30% wait for few days it should clear

[jem]

if cloudy is the case..

u might want to wait for a day for the water to settle..

wash the filter wool frequently if u are using it..

and try not to stir up the sandbed if u are also having it..

my limited 2 cents advise

Look like a 60s television... Blurrrrrr.....

You using a external canister filter? Add some activated carbon, and water will be crystal clear. But maybe after your tank is fully cycled after 3-4weeks.

Maybe your tank looks dull due to the lack of a good lighting?
