Water Clarity

[Pennies2Cents]

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? 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!

Im not sure if the glass is different on either side. But it is an Oceanic Tank

Ok so does anyone out there have any idea on how to clear up this water?
