As many of you know we have setup our 125 and its been in progress for a while. I have one question.

Our water clarity from the front view looks clear even in pictures is looks good but the side view I can see green water?:confused: I have tried to run carbon with no clearing up. We have been told to use a sock but the socks that I have seen have a ring around the top and it would not fit correctly in our sump. Do they sell other kinds? Could it be the lighting?

Does anyone have a recomendation, that may possibly clear up the water. Water changes work for only a couple of days.

We have the skimmer running 24/7, all perimeters are good. Lighting is (3) 150 MH with 4 actinics. And I only feed once a day.

Let me know what you think!
