Murky Water

Tank has been very cloudy during the day. It seems to clear up at night. Is this normal during the early stages?

I have a reef aquarium with an orange Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). The water was clear and everything seemed normal. Suddenly, within just a few minutes, the water became completely cloudy and milky white.

Just before the water turned cloudy, I noticed a white, smoke-like substance coming directly from the anemone. The anemone remained attached to the rock and its tissue appeared intact.

One additional detail: this anemone has a history of splitting and reproducing asexually, usually dividing into two anemones.

Could this have been a spawning event, mucus release, or something related to the anemone splitting? Is there a risk to the fish and corals, and what should I do immediately?

What happened to my Duncan coral any tips ? (Water murky bc of water change)

Got the bacteria bloom taken care of!! 😮‍💨 added a air stone for 2 days and cleared right up! Now just hopping my hammers dont die, everything else's looks good tho!

Can't figure out why my water is soo cloudy! It doesn't clear up after a water change also. Any advice?

Nervous first time my tanks ever been cloudy like this after a water change

Been dealing with Cyano since February. I’ve had Chemiclean to use but have been exhausting all other natural methods before I use it. I must say, I’m really impressed with Tropic Marin Cyo Control. I completed the final dose today (which is why the water is a little cloudy temporarily) and it has reduced the Cyano by 75% so far. Paired with some maintenance changes, removing the Cyano before each of the 3 doses, it’s really impressive how things are clearing up. Even the back wall almost completely cleared up after the first dose. 💪🏻💪🏻

Hey guys, im a month in with my first nano (80l) and hitting a bit of trouble which id love some advice on.

Currently no fish, but added 4 trochus snails 10 days ago to start getting some life in there once cycle was complete.

My LFS recommended adding 2 bags of copepods and 2ml of phytoplankton once a week whilst we don't have fish to (i think) speed up algae growth.

For the last 5/6 days the water has looked a bit cloudy and nitrates have dropped from 18 to around 2 or 3. Chat GPT is saying it could be a bacterial bloom.

HELP-TANK IN CRISIS

I came back from holiday today only to be greeted with algea, murky water and retracted corals, help please, tests on their way soon

(This was yesterday) slugger the snail died. My tank is a little cloudy very fast (in a day) I think it’s the led light

Tank cleaning day was a success no jumpers lol the second tank just needs to clear up a little I should have waited for a picture of it 😭

Wanted to show the uglies. I feel like every one shows their tanks from the best possible angle after a deep clean, which is totally understandable. This is a 3 and a half month tank after a full week without maintanance. What do you think?
