I have been struggling with cloudy water in a 40 gallon planted tank the past couple weeks. The tank is about 6 months old and livestock is as follows: 4 Cherry Barbs, 2 dwarf cichlids, a pleco, and 4 corys. The tank for the most part is algae free, and is lightly planted. I recently cut back a lot of java moss, but this didn't help the clarity. Water changes only have a temporary effect. It is set up with a wet/dry filter, which I have cleaned and maintained through this process. All the fish seem very healthy, but the water is very cloudy. I need help!
