jetskisteve Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 It can be crystal< Its the run off from the land eg lots of rain, I advise people to wait 3 days after heavy rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah agree completely. Clarity of the water has nothing to do with the run off from the land when it rains. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted October 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 BEEN BUSY.....!!!! I'm really stoked with the background colour...Its called "Cobalt"...looks exactly like the Ocean IMO. I've installed full perimeter 12mm overspill glass and Aluminium slide rails for the Hallides. These can be slid along the entire length depending on coral requirements etc. Water parameters ok.... but still a little murky...just added carbon...skimmer coming soon. should be clear tomorrowish. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate .05 Po4 0.15 Managed to catch my Sailfin...so I got something to look at!! Will add friends when skimmer has cleaned nutrients completely. (Water still has Tanins). Its taken around 5 hours to fine tune my DERSO to exactly match return feed flow. Overflow level is now 10mm below tank level and is nice and quiet.
