I think your tank is just really cloudy. You might have to wait a while for it to settle down. How long has it been like this? My SW took at least two days to fully clear up.

I waited 2 days. See where it is tomorrow afternoon. Your filter should be filtering this stuff out.

Oops, Kind of jumped the gun there. Oh well no major loss to me, I got a small amount of water in it right now, Il bring it up enough to let the filter run, If it clears up il fill it on up.

PS: Just wondering, Whats the use in it filtering it, It just comes back out when i touch the filter.

Correction, Filling it up atm

What kind of filter are you using? If your using the polyester stuff it should be getting caught in it and at one point you just take out the filter material and rinse it all out.

Cardreader isnt wanting to work, So it might be a little bit. However i may have to get aragonite rocks, Because the instructions (needs to be on the pack really) says not to use sand with them. and i had to read the ENTIRE thing to find that in like size 4 print.

Got pics of the filter pack. Interesting side note: i have a photo resizer on my 5 year old camera. wow.
