HEY EVERYONE, IM A NEWBIE IN THIS SALTWATER GAME,BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND IM HOOKED. I HAVE LEARNED ALOT AND HAVE HAD GREAT SUCCESS SO FAR BUT THE ONE THING I CANT TACKLE IS MY WATER CLARITY. FROM SMALL BUBBLES TO JUST PARTICLES IN THE WATER,I CANT GET RID OF EM AND ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. I HAVE A 155 BOWFRONT WITH SUMP REFUGIUM. IVE TRIED POSITIONG MY KORALIA 4S DIFFERENT WAYS TO TRY TO GET A BETTER FLOW TO NO AVAIL AND RECENTLY ADDED A CAN FILTER BUT ONLY HELPED A LITTLE. I KNOW WITHOUT KNOWING EVERY PART OF MY SYSTEM IT WILL BE HARD TO TELL ME WHAT THE MAIN CULPRIT IS SO I GUESS WHAT ID LIKE TO KNOW IS LIKE A TOP 10 MAIN THINGS THAT EFFECT YOU WATER CLARITY. OH AND GREAT SITE SO FAR, GLAD TO BE A PART OF IT. JASON

    How is your sump laid out? Does it have multiple sections? Bubbles in the sump will transfer up to the display tank.

    get rid of the canister
    what are you using on your return lines
    if you have particulate in the tank get some micron bags to start polishing your water from your returns

    as for the bubbles tumbleweed pretty much touched on it what you are creating in the sump will go into the display tank

    thanks guys i think i have a couple design flaws in my sump, now my question is how long do you think i could shut my sump down without hurting any of my corals or fish. i figure ill shut it down and redo it and then get it back up and running in a day.
