    Hello Forum,

    Well as you can see here is my 3ft tank all i am using are the basics nothing fancy like what most people use my equiptment are:

    A hook-on filer, a cooling fan, 2 pumps for water circulation i do not run my tank with a sump or even use a protein skimmer and my corals are doing just fine. The tank has been running for about a year.

    Thanks to some people on the forum, they helped me fix the issue i had with the dirty sand and no it looks much better.

    I was wondering how can i make my tank water crystal clear. Currently i can see many little particles of sand that are being carried in the current and it doesnt look like most tanks... any idea how i can solve the problem or how i can get a tank with clearer water?

    By the way, the corals are placed and wedged in, no tubes,pipes,glues,cableties were used in the scape.

    I have attached a picture of my tank. Thank you

    Regards,
    Bryan

    Great tank, Night-Rida hit it on the head, change your filter material often
