Ok ive seen tanks that have crystal clear water (mine once was)... I don't know whats wrong... the fish all (now) seem normal ammonia = 0 nitrite = 0 nitrate 5... but my water is cloudy (with a slight taint of white).

any ideas how to fix this.

Hello Ilikefish. It sounds like you're experiencing an algae bloom. It's very common in new tanks. Once it runs its course it should clear up on its own. Water changes and gravel vacuums will help.

I've moved your thread to the "cloudy water" section of the forum.
Thanks!
