Good question. I'm not really sure. Yellowing I think the answer is carbon. Particles the answer is some sort of mechanical filtration, including a sump full of chaeto. Bubbles, more bubble breaks before the skimmer water hits the return.Looks great.. I have always wondered how to get such clear water.. I tried socks, filter floss, UV, Carbon Rox but nothing brings this level of clarity in the tank.. can you please share your secret
Water changes always help just about everything!
It may look goofy but if you wrap power heads in filter floss and zip tie the floss in place, it would act as a polishing filter. And get all the tiny particles from water column. Change pads after about 12 hrs they should look blackish. Do it again for another 12 hours and water won't have anything floating in it. For clarity fresh carbon. Yet carbon depleted pretty fast so you would likely need to swap it every 3-5 days to maintain prestine clarity.Looks great.. I have always wondered how to get such clear water..

This is what I use to do on my former biocube32 mix reef. Now I don't really bother except water changes rollers and socks. I occasionally run carbon if anything looks strange.
