Hi,
For the last month or so I have been noticing that the water in my tank is turning cloudy. I tried several things to change this...water changes, cleaning the tank, etc. But it still seems to be turning cloudy. The people at the fish store said it was just trying to go through a cycle, but I've had the tank up and running for eight months and this has only started happening recently.
None of my fish have died. I was able to successfully add fish too. I tried some drops to make the water clear, and those work, but I dont want to add in drops every day to keep the water clear.
Today I noticed that the plants in my tank are starting to lose the green from their leaves. I was wondering if this had anything to do with it in two ways:
1) the couldyness is preventing enough light for the leaves to create chlorophyll, or what keeps them green.
2) the leaves loosing their green is releasing something in the water to make it cloudy.
Appreciate the help!
