I just added 350g of water to my new tank. Now no fish yet, but the water is cloudy, I installed a 700 gph pump with 10 micron water filter (2 hours ago) but does not seem to be helping. Any ideas on how to make the water clear ?
Cloudy water on new tank
- Thread starter qguy
- Start date
Could be bacterial bloom. Could be dust from substrate be stirred up. If its either of these 2 things, it'll clear up with time.
It took a while for my 300 gallon to clear up when I set it up I think just from depth of tank from front to Back and bacteria bloom
If its just a bacterial bloom from a new tank, it'll clear up on its own....no need for uv
Xraycer you are right. How i missed word NEW.... 
My frined's new set up was so cloudy you can't see any plants or decoration inside.
But with my 4 tanks i never have this problem.

My 120 did the same, was cloudy white for a few days.
I have a UV in my canister, but was told NOT to use until tank is cycled. Not sure if that's true or not but I haven't turned on the UV yet but my tank is clear now.
