Help!

[Nickie]

Hey can anyone help me out? My one 10 gallon tank has turned cloudy an I don't know y my fish are fine but the tank doesn't look right. I just did a water change yesterday and nothing helped.

Is this a recently set up tank?

 

[Nickie]

No it's been set up for about 5 months

Did you do any gravel vacuuming? Did you change your filter cartridge?

 

[Nickie]

Yup I did both

Milky cloudy or green cloudy?

 

[Scott F]

Since you did this yesterday, was the tank cloudy immediately afterwords or, did it get that way during the day today ?

 

[Nickie]

Milky couldy and I changed the water becaus I though it would help but it didn't.

Just a bacteria bloom, nothing to worry about. Tends to come about when dirty substrates are overly disturbed, as in a good vacuuming. Water changes will do nothing to help. Just continue regular maintenance and thoroughly vacuum a third of the gravel every water change. Cut back on feeding a bit. It should clear up in a week or two.
