I started up a new 40 gal freshwater tank a little over a month ago, no matter how much water I change, the water gets cloudy (light white haze). The ammonia has been getting high, so I have been doing 15-40% water changes several times a week, depending on the level. I make sure not to feed to much, and vaccuum the gravel and remove excess.
1) The white haze? Will it naturally pass? I thought with the water changes it would go away, but shortly after a light white haze appears
2) I'm about about 5weeks in, but have i slowing down the cycling process?
I originally tried to start off with zebra danios, but they died within a few days. I then purchased 4 austrailain rainbows, which seem to be doing really great but I know the haze cant be good for them long term.
Any thoughts?
