so everytime i change my water within 2 hours my tank gets real cloudy i dont know why... anyone have a solution?
 
New tank syndrome...What tank size? And what are you stocking? Do you have a cycled tank?
 
2 ich texas, 3ich sal, and 3 ich jag, and 2 2ich tin foils
 
55 gallon
 
its been running for over a month now
 
what are your water params? do you gravel vac? do you have an undergravel filter? DO YOU OVERFEED? where your filter is full of crap so when you start it back up stuff flows out?
 
I have 2 125gallon tanks one which is CA/SA and the other is African Cicihlds. My African tanks get's really bad after a water change I'm not to sure why that is but next day it is gone I have to Eheim Pro2 and Pro 3 running the tank and it still gets cloudy. My 125gal CA/SA gett's some what cloudy but no where near the other tank, Also on my CA/SA that has (1) FX5 :headbang2running that tank and it keeps it real strong for flow and really clean but I have that tank full of different fish. It could be the pump or maybe every other week to a gravel clean hope this helps!
 
You guys both either need to get some established bio media, and seed your filters, or lighten up the stock, and stop changing the water so much. Do not mess with the filter for at least a month. Do not feed nearly as much as most recommend. 1x per day, and very light is way more than plenty. I feed 3-4 times a week, 1 time on the days I feed.
