ok,
I moved everything from my 10 gallon to a 20 gallon tank a friend gave me. I planned on making this a planted tank, so I went out and purchased the Eco Complete. Well when I put in the Eco I let it sit and filter for 48 hours, after that I transferred my fish over. The water was fine for 3 days. Then I came home and it was cloudy as everything. I'd say more of a milky cloudy. You can barely see inside the tank now. My roomate was like "oh yeah, that's normal it'll settle down". Well 2 days later it's just the same. The filter that's on is a Penquin mini filter. I know that's not quite big enough for a 20, I'm planning on adding a lot of plants. So what should I do? Would a water change help? What causes this?
