I have a 125 gal tank with eight juvenile piranha's in it. The tank has been up and running for four months now and has been crystal clear for a while now. I change the water every week. I just got home and the water has turned cloudy..... any guesses???
Thanks
 
check ur filters.. maybe one of them shut off...

or did u change the filter pads recently? you could have crashed your cycle.. which is what it seems like to me..
 
What kind of filter/filters are you running?
 
Im running one eheim and one xp2. The xp2 was added recently to replace my old filter. I also added pura complete to one of the filters, but this was well over two weeks ago.
 
what color cloudy? Cloudy white is a bacteria bloom, cloudy green is an algae bloom, cloudy brown could be tannins from peat or wood, sand or gravel??

it sounds like a crashed cycle..

test your water..

if ur nitrites and/or ammonia aren't reading near 0 then u successfully crashed ur cycle :D
