cloudy water

[craig_will2513]

Hi my tank is been running for almost 2 years now. I recently noticed my toadstool looking a bit off. But every now and then he would look funny I was told its getting rid of waste and will be back to normal in a day or 2. I woke this morning and my water is very cloudy and everything's dead. What would have caused this please anyone.

What are the parameters? Sorry :-/

No idea iv bot bithered to test as everythings dead. Befoe they were ok. Nitraate was a little high at 10ppm

Hard to tell you want might have killed everything without more info. Temp, salinity, amm? Anything recently added/changed?

No nothing is new. I woke up and the waster was so cloudy I couldn't see. Fish were on top nearly alive but soon died. What could have caused the cloudy water

 

[Bectan01]

How often do you change the water? What type of filtration? Anything die in there that you didn't notice? An anemone maybe? That would wipe out a tank...

I would suspect the toadstool. They can give off toxins when stressed, and a nitrate level of 10 ppm could have done that.
