    Proper Lighting with Metal Halide

    Tank water not clear yet

    thats a great buy! Are you on here alot? I would like to keep in touch about the status of my aquarium with you if you dont mind. You seem to be about 3 weeks ahead of me so it would be good to know how you are doing and what you did to fix things or stuff like that. Would you mind?

    Tank water not clear yet

    I just set up a new salt tank and followed all my research (about 2 years worth) in setting up. I have a 55 gallon tank that I mixed reef crystals for my saltwater and agronite for my base and I let it run for 24 hours with the filter on and a power head but the water is still murky white.
