When I first set mine up a month or two after I put fish in it, it began to cloud up white. Like someone blew smoke in the water. I cleared up with some carbon treatments or I am having a problem now with brown cloudy water and someone on here told me to buy this stuff called algone. It seems to be working good so far. I have invers, fish, LR, LS and it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. It is supposed to be compleatly compatable with all creatures in your tank and it is with mine. It sais on the algone sight that cloudy water is caused by bacteria in the water and this stuff will pull it out. Not only the bacteria but the ammonia, and nitrates also. It is working for me so far so if you want give it a try. Also their shipping was tremendously fast!!! If not you could wait and it will probably go away on its own. It did in both my saltwater tanks and my freshwater it just takes awhile.
