    Thanx @ mydummyname trying my best. I probsbly must be more patient with the water. Also its a big cube so water must be extra clear to see all the way to the back

    @Ryno Maybe it's a bacterial bloom.

    I used alot of gravel from the previous tank and the filters and 100L of the water also. But must be a bit of a bloom. But evetytime that was completely cleared up in 48hours max. Think the filtration isnt the best for the big surface area. hOB doesnt make alot of current. Si i dont think the sirculation is the best. Going to lool for a canister next month maybe. Will see if the wavemaker makes a difference.

    250 grams of purigen. So loads yes. Its must be lack of sirculation with the filters. So the bloom takes longer to clear. Rule on for any fish keeper. Loads of patience! Something i find hard to have
