White Murky Water

[africandiscus]

After the last few water changes I have done the tank is white and murky. It clears up after about a day. Is anyone experiencing this? I am in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

I use normal tap water, age it with water ager and leave it for 24hrs with an airline tube producing big bubbles.

I think you may be right there, I am at Eastlakes, and I thought it was just my imagination. :oops:
It clears up the next day, and I don't even age my water, straight from tap into the tank, treated with Prime or ACN.
Nothing to worry about I guess as the fish seems happy.

Hi Folks:

Just make sure your tap water isn't treated with Chloramines...in case you are adding tap water directly!

white cloudy water is generally several things

1. an algae issue in the water - you can buy stuff from your lfs to treat it. it will clear up straight away


2. its over feeding, too much protien in the water ( say from beef heart)

3. too much water dechlorinator.

but dont stress it wont effect the fish, just check your ammonia reading to make sure its not your biological filter stuffing up.
