Hi mpulido316:
It looks like a bacterial bloom. When did you cycle your tank? Have you recently done any maintenance on the filter? Have you changed your feeding regimen at all? Have you added fish recently? What are your current water parameters?

I started cycling it about a week ago, give or take a few days. Just the occasional rinsing out in old tank water since it had a buildup of substrate sediment. I don't have fish yet so no feeding unless you count the ammonia I've been adding to it. No fish. 2ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite, 7.5ph.

It's perfectly normal. You should see things clear up in a few days. I assume you're doing a fishless cycle. Stay the course, and be patient!

Thanks for the additional info, mpulido0316. This happens very often during cycling and is nothing to worry about. I was thinking that you had an established tank, in which case it might have been a cause for concern since there's always an underlying cause.
Congratulations on choosing to do a fishless cycle.
