Cloudy Water

smeese · 05-31-2006, 10:41 PM

I dumped a little too much liquid life in the eel tank the other day and now the water is very cloudy. I turned up the skimmer and added carbon and in the morning I plan on doing a big water change. All the livestock seemed unaffected but is there anything else that would turn the tank a hazy milky color (It was not too bad but not too good either

)

I did contain the sand in a 4 inch deep tupperware container on the bottom of the tank so I would not have to scrape it all out when I switch tanks. This should have no adverse affects should it. It has been like that for a week or so. Just a thought. Thanks guys.

Did it create an algal/bacterial bloom?

good question....whats that mean?

Dunno, just seemed like a good question.

I just assumed the liquid life was some sort of food. And lots of food I assume can lead to an algael/bacterial bloom.

Yeah maybe that is it then. I am gearing up to do a 75 % water change tomorrow. I hope that remedies the situation. Thanks D hope all is well!
