Hello all,
I have a 55 gallon tank with smaller, communal fish in it. The total number is around 30. It's mostly a mix of tetras, along with a couple of platys, four zebra danios, a flame dwarf gourami, two chinese algae eaters, and two small catfish. The water is always slightly cloudy, I think because of an algae problem. I have tried covering the tank with a heavy sheet for three or four days, to no avail. The tank is not in a particularly sunny spot, and I don't think I am overfeeding them. I also change out 15-20 gallons of water each week. The light is on for about 12 hours a day. Is there anything I am missing, or any solutions to the cloudy water problem?
Thanks,
Matt
