What is in the tank so far? Pardon my bad math, but how many gallons is 300ltr :doubt: I never was good at conversions. Are you adding chemicals to start your bio? We need more info of the tank and system to help.

what's your ammonia level? High ammonia can cause cloudiness...

Guys just for a small info, 1 gallon = 3.8 something(or close to it) liters. I didnt know it myself and is bad at conversions, so I looked at the mineral water holder which held 5 gallons or 19.4 liters...

Anyways, is there a test on alkalinity? I finally found a LPS that sells test, and they have most of them(at a costy price!) but no alkalinity... is that vital? Or just NO2, NO3, pH, and Ammonia?
