I've experienced cloudy water before, but I'm kinda stuck on what this one is.
Little back story, I have a 20g planted tank that has been setup and going for a few months now. A little over a week ago I cleaned out some hornwort and cleaned off some of the green spot algae that had built up. The next morning I noticed some cloudiness in the water and checked ammonia/nitrites to see if it was a bacteria bloom (both read 0). I then did a water change to see if it was maybe some of the small particles that got kicked up from disturbing the tank the day before.
As the days have passed, the cloudiness has only gotten worse. Ammonia and Nitrites are still 0, and none of the fish or shrimp appear to be acting any different so I believe the water parameters are ok but I'm scratching my head as to what the cloudiness is.
Some other type of bacteria? some type of algae (its a white cloudiness so its not green water algae).
Thanks
