.....i have a water appearance, not so much a water quality issue.......... i have been switching over to RO water from straight tap water for about a week now....no large high impact water changes....just top offs and regular weekly 10% changes....all total I'm estamating there is 8 gallons of RO in a 20 gallon tank so far......my problem is that the water looks as if there is "smoke" in it ..... all cloudy and rolling around, like i said parameters are perfect {even bought another test kit to prove my exsisting one} but this smoky stuff is driveing me nuts.......

could it just be the RO reacting with the tap water? is the RO "ripping" the bactieria in the tap water? is it..............well, what is it?????

The Pimp has never seen anything like it, so i'm poseing it to everyone else....comments, questions, ideas?????
