Dear Uncle Ned,
I have a 75 gal freshwater tank that has been set up for about 2 months. The water has a slight haze to it. The lights are on for about 9 hours/day. I do a 20% water change weekly, and do not over feed. I have a Magnum 350 for filtration plus a power head and airstone for circulation.

Do you have any suggestions on how to get the water to clear. Thank you.

IS THE HAZE GREEN OR WHITE?
The lights are on for about 9 hours/day.
DO YOU HAVE 1 40WATT BULB OR 2 40WATT BULBS?
DEPENDING ON THE KIND OF FISH, YOU COULD ADD LIVE PLANTS,
THAT WOULD USE UP SOME OF THE LIGHT THE GREEN WATER LIKES.

I SUGGEST
YOU CHANGE 90% OF THE WATER,
ADD SOME SERA AQUATAN TO CONDITION THE NEW TAP WATER,
ADD A BAG OF UNCLE NED'S GOOD DIRTY WATER,
ADD A SMALL AMMOUNT OF KENT PRO CLEAR,
& ADD SOME LIVE PLANTS.

Thank you for the reply. The haze is white, and I have 2 40 watt bulbs. Would the the live plants help with the white haze, and do I have enough lighting for them. Thanks again.

We have lots of plants that will do well with 80 watts.
Also, I bet you are cleaning your filter too often...
dirty filter = clean water.
