The reason I ask is that I primarily feed Hikari. Have a rigorous W/C schedule but for some reason am getting persistent 'cloudiness' the last week or so. Parameters are good A=0, Nit=0, Nat= ~5 but the weird cloudiness is persistent for some reason. I recently had a small uptick in brown algae on surfaces, nothing serious just small spots. Green algae on the glass. All cleaned a week ago. I thought the brown algae was a symptom of what was going on, but the water was clear prior and I had far more at the time. The cloudiness is strange, its more 'hazy' than milky. Same two fish in tank although the Oscar is growing quickly. Daily cleanup. Did one 40 percent W/C per schedule earlier today, doing a smaller one now. Ruled out solids in the tap...ph is 8.4 here. The fish do dig a lot and scatter sand (Oscar is a factor here), I don't know if they're disturbing the bacteria or not.
I peeked at at water thread by another poster who seemed to have a similar problem altho I believe seafood was involved. I only feed pellets as the main diet.
