(Whitish) Cloudy water

[Mike A]

My tank has been running since September of last year and for the last 2 weeks the water is not clear as I know it should be. I recently changed a few of my T5 bulbs from 420 purple to 460 Actinic blue and introduced a orange spotted goby. Is it possible that the work the goby does is what's causing this cloudy whitish haze? NAC 7 skimmer is working great, I'm running carbon and have the 1 1/2" drain wide open and the 1" return line wide open with adequate flow.

Thanks Mike

Well after making a few slight modification and adding foam media pads both in the sump and in the overflow box as well as changing out to a different filter sock the tank is back to being crystal clear I think the cloudy water was in fact due to the new addition of an Orange Spotted Goby to the tank. He's diffently a worker, he's got all is tunnels dug and the sandy bottom is perfect!!

yeah an orange spotted goby is a hard worker!!..I had one for a few weeks and did a PIF cause I wasn't able to see my tank during the day or at night..but he did an awesome job at cleaning my sand..
