    Interesting, no one has asked the more pertinent question. What are your parameters? Post all of them i.e. Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Ph etc. If you have a lack of bacteria due to lack of porous rock you may have a bloom of some sort. How about the lighting? What do you have?

    Try aiming the Koralia slightly upwards so it stops digging that trough in the sand, this will allow the sand to settle and the water to clear.... you might also need to position it 2 or 3 inches higher on the back wall as well.

    Other than that you got a great lookin tank started, looking forward to watching it mature.

    Ok please read this again. My water still hasnt cleared up, heres some info. In the water colomn there is like a milky look to it. Like if you look closely, you can see the milky stuff moving around. If it were because of the sand wouldnt my filter sock get rid of it? :( Please read sig to diagnose this is getting the best of me. Since i have posted the pic, visibility in the tank has went down by more than half. But maybe the milky description will help you

    True?

    True?

    Could it be just a part of the cycle and that it will clear eventually; that its just a time factor?

    Wierdest thing today, i was testing for ammonia, and the test (after 5 minutes) was straight up white. no yellow, red, anything. and i noticed when i was adding the droppers in that it was a really wierd like lava lamp effect in there, like the particles from the "B" dropper was still a solid. Looked awesome but somethings wrong.
