did you put milk in your tank? that could very well be the reason
I can do without posts like that:irked:

If it was meant to be a joke, try using a smilie or J/k followed by something like 'seriously hope it works out'. If it was not meant as a joke... never mind I'm not going there

It is clearing slowly, the fish is not happy about not being fed and the wife is giving me ear ache as he keeps dancing about flirting for food:irked:
 
Tank is clearing slowly, nothing else to report
 
Still not clear, should I do another water change?
 
have you tested your tap water?

No but at the time of the large change, I did the same large change and internal filters on the other 2 tanks with no problems, hence why I didn't.
 
Food?
What kind of food are you feeding them... also anyone else feeding your fish... I had the same problem about a year ago... on and off... i figured it was because my 2 filters Emperor 400 and AC110 were not enough for my 65g with a 3" jack and 5" Oscar so i bought a FX5... same thing.. milky... One day i took my floater from work and caught my son feeding the fish sliced bread...

Another problem i used to run into was my 20g long tank... it is planted and was overly stocked with baby con's.... neways when i did a water change i had used buckets and kept them in the garage... a couple of hours later that tank was milky... i checked the parameters and all was good... I didn't know what was going on.... I checked the water in the buckets and viola... i had killed the BB when i did the water change.. the Old PH was 5.6 and the new PH was 7.2... I was lucky to not have lost any fish... I fixed the problem with the PH.. I feed the fish in the tank 2x a day smaller portions.. no extra food in the tank to rot and mess with the ph... now i can go a week before a WC... (although it gets tiny water changes of about a gallon ever 2 days when i vacuum the ditrius from the sand)
