Cloudy/Milky water
The tank has been up for 10 months with this being the first problem. While I was traveling last week I came back to a cloudy tank and a skimmer going crazy. It overflows with a slimy foam in few hours. All inhabitants seem fine. Here are my parameters:
dkh: 11.8 Calcium: 420 Nitrate: 0 Temp 79.5 The only thing that looks funny is my G3 skimmer cup is also cloudy looking and the top is clear blue like usual. I have a little bit of feather caulerpa (sp) and a few other macro species. Any ideas?
