Hello Everyone- bear with me I got some sH*# on my mind. We set up a 60g tank. At first no substrate no rock JUST WATER. Mixed the salt, and from there was just going to let the sump mix it. Remove it then add the LS and LR. The water was cloudy from the start. I scratched it, hired a guy to come set it up- Having a "professional" do it, I went ahead and ordered 60 lbs of LS and 120 lbs of LR to be delivered next week. Again just allowing time for things to settle- test the equip etc.... So the so called professional had me buy like 20 lbs of argonite just to cover the bottom and 10 lbs of live rock.
It looked like it was going to finally be solved and five days later the water looks like a cloud is in the aquarium.
I guess one thing I did see was when I was removing the water from the Aquarium the 1st time (using the submersible pump from the sump) I noticed that when it ran low- this saltlike or maybe micro bubble type garbage would flow- but even then after a while it cleared up.
Keep in mind please, there's no livestock in the tank- only the 2 rocks:frustrat:
The even more frustrating part of it, is we now live in a little bitty farmer town. I have socks older than the kids working @ the pet store!!! So I'm usually bringing supplies and what not home when I come home. Hence, the no faith in the "professional".
All the parameters are in, S.G. is 1.024
Thanks for whatever help you can give!
