Well, appears your tank is still cycled. So, must be some sort of bacterial bloom which hopefully/most likely harmless and go away with water changes.

I know that when i do a massive water change my tank gets cloudy for about 24 hours. It has never lasted days tho. At least now with the water tests we know that your fish are safe from ammonia and nitrite.

thanks for the push, should've done the test a few days ago really!-) like i say the new baby is taking up all our time...

guessing the bloom is still a result of my actions? i will have a read up on bacterial blooms now...

So, I would just say on the bloom feed as little as possible for as long as it takes the water to clear.
