I do weekly water changes on my 90 gallon Oceanic RR tank with 30 gallon sump refuge- w cheato, Aqua-C remora protein skimmer, dual BRS reactor with ROX carbon and GFO. Just curious, by end of week water doesn't look as clear as it did that first day.. Just wondering if there's anything I could add to my system to help keep water crystal clear???


My Tank:
In addition to above
-48" Current Nova Extreme Pro Lighting
- 150 lbs live rock, assorted coral & fish
- 2 Koralia 4 power heads
- Currently using Salinity salt, but thinking about going back to Instant Ocean

You could try vodka dosing on a small scale. I loved the water clarity when I was using it.

I have used brightwells Microbacter7 (1x a day for 2weeks and then 1x a week) with great results, I was really surprised how well this worked.
