Snow globe......

[pitmam01]

My tank (90 gallons) looks a little like snowglobe at times. Lots of particals floating around. I just added a charcoal sock in the sump (took out some of those pita bioballs). It doesn't look like the powerheads are blowing stuff everywhere, just kind of floating around. Looks like sand, etc. Just want a crystal clear tank!!!! What the....????

Are you dosing anything? Buffer? Calcium?

My tank is only 5 weeks old. I am adding Phytoplankton and an All in One. Nothin else.

Are you dosing anything? Buffer? Calcium?

It probably just shedding. You dont need to be dosing anything including the "all in one". Give a filter sock a shot, youll like the results.

Oh you guys in the San Juaquin and Sac valley....I feel for you. Lived in Fresno for 28 years and moved to Portland JUST to beat the heat!!!!!

It's 100 here now (somewhat rare), but even so, the air quality is liveable.

Good luck in Cali...and stay cool.

It was kind of nice today, overcast, windy and not too hot. My fish guy came over tonight, installed two new turbo pumps to move water around and what a difference!!! Tank is sooooooo much clearer!! No more snow globe!!!! Wahoo!!!
