Re: [GSAS-Member] Frustrated with tank that wont clear up

[Laurel Larsen <laurelthequeen@gmail.com>]

It's been about a month and a half.  The way the tank is set up, it's  
an oceanic biocube, it's an all-in-one wet/dry sump style filter, so  
there's not anywhere that I could put a uv sterilizer.  I picked up  
some water clarifier this afternoon and dosed the tank.  It looks a  
little less cloudy, but it might just be me imagining it looking nicer  
so I feel better about it. If this doesn't  work, I have quite a  
project for tomorrow, I'll tear the tank down.
