What I found recently, when I hooked up my 25 watt Aquanetics UV sterilizer
was that once I changed a substantial portion of the water the water was
clear. I would recommend changing from 50-75% of the water, then sit back
and see the clearness. BTW, can you see that the light is running thru the
sight holes? That is obviously important too. Good Luck,
Don
