i have been doing weekly change but water seems to be getting clody?
any help?
fish seem fine,eating well,swimming well,filter is clean.
???????/:irked:
 
ammonia levels? bacterial bloom, to much light, etc.
 
tank age?
tank size? stocking?
what and how much do you feed?
water change regime how much, how often?

It could my a myride of things. but answers to those questions will help narrow it down.
 
Hi I have had this problem before and it usually happens to people with a new tank its usually caused by to much bacteria in your tank since your fish are fine its probably a milky color and its all good bacteria u can keep doing water changes but a uv filter is for algae and that doesn't sound like what you have so pretty much turn your light in the tank off for a few days do some water changes and you can by a chemical I think its called chrystal clear and that should level out your bacteria thust creating a clear tank let me know how that works out for you
 
We need to know some answer to some questions first:
What is your tank size?
What is your filtration and what type of media?
How many times do you feed a day?
Stock list?
Is your tank by a window?
 
yes the guy above is right when ever people ask questions you need to give this list above for minimum info. if you have the knowledge your ph, amonia, nitrite, and nitrate should also be givin. if you have tap or well water. certain things just need to be givin out so people wanting to help can do so more acurately
