So since of lately past three weeks everytime I do a water change 25% to 50% my water turns cloudy witch I thought was a bacteria bloom but its everytime i change water. Usualy a water change means crispy water, at first I thought it was a bacteria bloom due to me cleaning the filter but it hasnt stopped in weeks and lasts for a couple days then clear water. The tank is a 220g with a 2262 and large sponge stock is 4 p-bass sizes 12"11"10"9" and a 10" Bicher bare bottom with medium driftwood in center. Whats confusing is my fish are fine and healthy but its wierd because I change water in 55g and water looks fine no cloudyness. Maybe its the water conditioner is what i was thinking using Api stress coat maybe a bad batch? but the 55 is fine??? confused need help ...

Imo not enough filtration! Do you test water? Params would help but sounds like a classic case of big tank big fish lots of waste not enough bio/mech filtration

Yeah could be lol my fish just had a growth spurt in the past couple weeks since ive been back was gone for a year and they werent eating that good during this time so lower bioload i guess.... well its all good adding a 2260 as soon as the media that I just ordered gets here I'll add a pic of the new old beast made in west germany lol got it used missing a few parts $16 for missing parts at lowes but I think a 2260 and 2262 should be enough... F1 Vet can you explain though if not enough filtration why is the water cloudy after a water change wouldnt be clear then get cloudy if not enough water change? Oh heres a pic of next weeks project....
