so my 55 water was clear about 3-4 days ago. when i did a water change. 3 days later i add a powerhead into the tank just to help the filter a bit.

its a small 170 GPH powerhead from Aquaclear with a thingy u can add to it as a filter. wat i did was i add some carbon into the tube to go alone with my powerhead, since than my water been cloudly, i did another water change today, about 10 gallon of water. after adding the new water. it look like the cloudly was cleaning out. so i left n later came back to see the tank is cloudly like b4.

should i do a power water change?

filther im using is a Canister
 
Is your tank still cycling?
If it's in the early stages of a cycle it could possibly be a bacterial bloom.
Also, what kind of substrate do you have? One that could be disturbed easily, such as fine sand?
Did you give the carbon pack a thorough rinsing before adding it?
 
The tank been set up for month now.
I'm sure it been cycle already.
Yes I raise the carbon I add. I'm going
To do a big water change when I get off work.
 
do you know the exact readings of the tank? if you wc it looks better come back and its worse again that sounds like bacteria.
