So I have been getting frustrated with my cloudy water. All my parameters are good Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0-5. It has been cloudy for about a month now and I cant get it to clear up. Any suggestions?
 
hard one how big is the tank? What kind of filtration do you have? What kinds of fish do you have how long has the tank been running? have you recently put new fish into it?

I dont run any carbon currently but I will give it a try.
 
I just had the same problem with my 180G. I did 1 big water change and then a bunch of 20-40 gal. changes, and nothing. I finally hooked my outdoor pond sterilizer up to tank after a few plumbing reducing, and it's clearing up nice.

Yeah I've been doing a lot of water changes to and it just wont clear up.
 
dam that can be a pest if the carbon wont clear it up u can get stuff to help but im not into cemicals and no f all about them, i would look into what is the cause of it ie light is main 1, and work from ther food prob next thing but it might just be a bloom my guess is light,,
