This could be a bacteria bloom. Beneficial bacteria is probably multiplying, so much so that u are able to see it. My 3 feet tank also had this. After about 4-5 days, i had the cloudyness problem. Within 2 days it was gone. There is nothing to worry about. As long as u have done everything correctly up to now, things should run smoothly. I would suggest waiting another couple of days to see what happens. In the meantime, let ur tank cycle and dun add any LS.

Hope this will help. If its a bacteria bloom, it is good. Means that all ur denitryfying bacteria multiplying

Check NH4, NO3, NO2... Most probably NO2 will be very high... :nc: Just my 2 cents...

1ft cube with IOS [the low tech tank]

1. JBJ C-breeze to keep temp hovering around 27-28'C

2. LED clip on - 120 bulbs

-skimmer-less-

My 3 humble equipments that keeps my tank running... [DRIED OUT]

1. The RSM itself of course 2.My NEW Deltec MCE-300 Skimmer 3. My trusty Arctica Chiller

Tank parameters:

Temperature maintained at 25.3'C to 24.7'C

No3: 10ppm(b4 the use of the deltec skimmer)

No3: 5ppm (after use of the skimmer)

Others? too lazy to measure...LOL
