Hi folks, takes abit to reply as i am on a different time zone, 6pm here now, and as said i am in the UK as in the first post its the gallonage is in UK gallons, not that it matters 30 g on clearing a tank.
i have tryed to get some pics which i will put up but not the best to identify the colour. I would sat its a misty colour, not green or white if you know what i mean.
I have just done a video aswell so when that down loaded i will put that on with the pics aswell.
thanks for the response

I have got 3 layers of filter floss in the start of the sump fpr mechanical then a load of corugated koi tube and then K1 then more tube for the bio.
Maybe i should use more mechanical?

Hi again
Nope, just the 3 layers of 200 gram floss, i was thinking of socks but a few said thr floss is just as good, and i was actualy being lazy and cheap as its only £6 for 24 square foot of floss.

A larger pump may help, but I don't know the US gph equialvent of a 850gph UK, so I might be wrong. Filter socks are pretty amazing.
How long has the tank been setup? I ask because if it's new and the sand wasn't cleaned enough the rays may be stirring it up. I love the sand/pebble mix on the left side!

I have 2 spare AQUA 1 CF 1000 cansisters i got with the tank , they are in need of new seals as the reason i didnt use them for long on this tank, it has been up and running now for about 14 weeks, i washed the sand as much as i could but it could be that.
The rays like the gravel a lot, they spend as much time on there as the sand, also gives a place for them to clean the sand off.
Think i will fix the aqua canisters as dont want to go buying a new one when i am saving towards the new tank.

Oh and a filter sock is worth a go, is there any reusable ones that i can get or are they all only single use, and what grade as i see they come in different grades.
