Hi All,
Just wondeering why lately my water has been cloudy in my tank. I have a 29 gallon that has been up and running great for a year and a half. I only have 4 adult mollies in it. I do frequent water changes and test the water levels weekly. My reading are all normal.... so i am confused at why the water is cloudy. I just did a water chnage today and it didnt effect the cloudyness.
Any ideas? Thanks, Cheryl

Did you recently put in a water conditioner such as stress zyme or prime? If so you could be going through a bacteria bloom. This happned in one of my established tanks not to long ago. It freaked me out at first but went away after a few days.

I always put prime in the water when I do a water change so yep that may have been what caused it. Maybe I put a bit too much....
Thanks for responding!

Do you have aeration running in the tank? The bacterial blooms do sometimes happen, like bert2001 said and that sure sounds like what you're dealing with. Too much Prime isn't the cause of it though, so don't worry about that.
