Cloudy water after water change
How long has the tank been setup? Sounds like a bacteria bloom in a tank
that hasn't fully cycled yet. Ron "Victor M. Martinez" wrote in message ... I've been meaning to post here about the cloudiness that sets on my large tank after I make water changes and fertilize the plants. The small tank doesn't get it, just the big one. Yesterday I changed about 30% of the water and fertilized with Fluorish, Fluorish Iron, Fluorish Excel, plus I added some Freshwater Trace. Like clockwork, the water started turning cloudy about an hour after the water change. This morning it's cloudy, but it should start clearing this afternoon. I also cleaned the filter (Eheim), rinsing all the media in it. One interesting aside is that everytime I make a water change, some of the usually shy clown loaches come out and hang out all over the tank. Anybody else get cloudiness after water changes?
