The cloudiness will go away after its cycled good. Most likely that's just a bacterial bloom and when there's no more food source, that kind will die away
So if I am changing 50% of the water about every 3 days how do I know when a cycle is finished? I know I am supposed to measure the nitrates and nitrites but if I am changing the water that much how do you ever complete a cycle. One of my fish was very lethargic today and not moving, so we tested for ammonia and it was in the stress zone. We changed the water and he is back moving around fine. I am just worried that with all this changing water the cycle will never end. I guarantee my water will be cloudy again by tomorrow. That tells me there is another new bacteria bloom. So is there going to be a point when I change the water and it stays clear? I have read that the beneficial bacteria lives in the substrate and bio-filter so I would assume I will achieve the cycle eventually, but by changing the water so much aren't I prolonging the cycle completing?
