What is your water changing schedule like?

 

[cichlid555]

it changed over night, probally from to much light. i left the light on all night.

when you say Murky, please describe. Give water parameters.

 

[cichlid555]

greenish and i dont think an algae eater will help

 

[beblondie]

leave the light off a cpl days,do a water change -Anne

 

[Fishyfanatic]

water parameters? How long has the tank been set-up?

 

[buggsmarinetank]

The light could be a problem, but like fishy said, knowing the parameters would help to determine the problem exactly

 

[cichlid555]

thank you and i have had it setup for a couple of weeks and i usually put fish in after a week and a half because i tend to keep them alive for a long time even with only a week of the nitrogen cycle
