so do you think that i was doing water changes too often, i usually do it once a week
Hello SLo...
When I had a similar problem, I recall using an extra HOB filter and filling it with a dense polyfiber material. Hagen Aqua Clear has a good HOB. The dense fiber material held the small particles of plant and fish material and cleared the water in a few days.
Water changes will sometimes stir the substrate a little and cause debris to float around in the tank water, but they also help remove debris and help clear the water.
Run an extra filter until the water clears.
