I did it again

[Greenphantom]

Well I had alot of stuff going on the last month or so and I have neglected my tank so yesterday I had a few hours of free time so I did about somewhere between 40 and 50% water change didn't really clean the filters one is a aquaclear 110 and i have ac and ammonia pellets and the sponge well the sponge was shot so I had to put a new one in (sponge) just lightly rinsed the other media put the new sponge in the water I used to clean the other media the other filter has no media in it at all because that one is a worthless piece of crap it plugs up in a couple days it is one of those whisper side by side hang on back anyway I know I am under filtered and I knew I wasnt suppose to change media during a water change but I didnt have much choice. So I got up this morning sure enough cloudy water so my question is how can I get rid of the cloudy water without chemicals my tank is a 120 breeder I have had this problem before and got all this junk from a pet store couldnt tell u what it was and it cost me my favorite 4 fish an about 400.00 bucks so help

You got a "bloom" and you are probably now in a Mini Cycle....You need to really keep your eye on you Levels (Ph, ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate) and you are probably looking a Daily PWC's. for a Week or So....

It happens, just need to keep an eye on it.

Yep, just really pay attention to your parameters, you have a bacterial bloom and a mini-cycle. Daily PWCs until it goes away is the most efficient method.
