So I've had my 125 up and running for a bit over a year, water has been crystal clear up until the last week or so when it suddenly became cloudy and greenish, and looking for a little direction on how to clear it back up. This started about a week ago and seems to be getting worse with some improvement on water change but it clouds back up in a day or two. Started last week.
Details:
Tank is filtered by an FX-6 and Fluval 406, turning over approx 1300 GPH between the two.
Stocked with 8" marbled motoro, 4" geo, 4" discus, 5" Flagtail
Java Fern, Amazon sword
Only things that have changed in the last 1-2 weeks, both happened about the same time, shortly before water became cloudy. one of my heaters malfunctioned and bumped the temp from its normal 79-80 up to 89 for about two days. I also added a little aquaponics project, growing a couple basil plants in a modified utensil rack.
For reference I included a pic of the cloudiness today looking into the end of the tank vs a pic I snapped about a month that ago.
If anyone has a solution for this sudded clouding that doesn't involve moving the fish, or any non ray-safe chemicals, I would greatly appreciate your input.
