SRC Member Patrick Posted June 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2013 Depends on what the particles are. If detritus then filtering and skimmer will usually remove them. Bt if they are pods they may continue to reproduce. So finding the cause of the particles will enable you to find the best solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tropic Posted June 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2013 Can check..How many microns filter sock or what type u use? Sent from my Android using Tapatalk2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member digibee Posted June 28, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2013 hi bro, I find, using and change the carbon regularly will help in making the water clearer. I am using Rowa Carbon. As for particles; usually they will settle down after a few days Or get flow down to your overflow/sump; unless your wavemaker is very strong and keeps blowing off the bottom of the tank. There is a product; I think called "It's Clear"; that one will help too. Check with Fuel. Cheers! Quote () Happy will do ... (o_o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
