I have a 75g that Is about 10 days into its cycle, some ammonia present. I did a small water change last night and now this morning the tank is so foggy you can barely see into it. I have cycled many tanks in the past and never seen this. Should I do a giant water change or let it be. There are 3 pbass in there cycling which are all ok. What should I do?
 
sounds like a possible bacteria bloom....you could do another water change if you like or give it some time.

did you clean out your filter during the change?
 
no just about 30%of the water and a couple obvious pieces of crap. Its got a wet/dry on it
 
dont do any water changes. You will prolong the cycle. I have cycled many tanks, some get cloudy soem dont.

I'm with Timmy i would let it cycle all the way before i even looked at it again. Is it by any direct sunlight?
 
almost done with cycle
 
I would not do any extra water changes other than your scheduled ones, I would also not add any more fish for now and would probably throw in a couple airstones or a powerhead as the extra surface turn over seem to speed up the clearing process.
