Are you using fish to cycle your tank or chemicals?

Whats your filtration like?

what type of filter and filter media?

 

[dr_sudz]

how big is your filter??

I have fish in it, and i used the stress coat (i put a little less then it said too). For filters I have a whisper 30-60 gl and another whisper that is 10-20 gl.

P.S the cloud is just a white color. Thanks for the help

Nobody helped you yet. I think you may be slightly underfiltered.

Bacterial bloom more than likely... it should go away. If it really bothers you get some kind of flocculant and the filter will catch the bacteria. Clarity by Seachem is a good one.

yea bacterial bloom,i wouldn't put any chemicals in there other than a good dechlorinator.since you are doing a fish cycle you should be doing regular water changes to keep you spikes of ammonia and then nitrite to a minimum.are you testing your levels for ammonia and then nitrites?
