We are all of the sudden having a problem with cloudy water the day or two after a water change. The first tank affected is our 30tall planted angel fish tank.
1 pair of angels are all that's in there.
Pressurized co2
Nothing has changed in over four months. This tank has been running for more than a year but was in the care of a friend from November to January because we were living in a hotel (long story).
We changed the water last night and added prime to to bucket of fresh water first.
Today our tank is yellow and cloudy. The levels are:
Ammonia: 0
Ph: 6.2 which seems low
Nitrite: less than 0.25 but more than 0
Nitrate: 160+
I also tested our 20 long admittedly over stocked until we can get the baby cories big enough for the pet store. It has one lone neon from a crash in the third tank, and 4 Khuli loaches, some ottos and lots of Cory babies +several adults. This ran the exact same as the cloudy 30 but looks beautifully clear also got a water change last night. And also has pressurized co2.
Any ideas what's going on? The only difference is the 20g stayed in our care running the our garage while our house was unlivable.
