[Farshad.roger]

hey guys
i have 330 Lit Aquarium which has about 200 Lit of water or maybe a bit more not sure
i have a filter ATMAN HF950 i know its not a very good thing but filters like Eheim and other good brans are so expensive i bought this one..
it cleans everything in the tank u cant find things in the bottom of the tank or somewhere it cleans very good
and inside the box that goes over the Aquarium i put Eheim Carbon then a sponge undet the carbon and finally Bio seramic so water goes thorugh these 3 and comes back to the tank and still after 2-3 days it get unclear abit and after 1 week very unclear...is it normal?
what should i do?i feed her in the tank but not that much and she swallow the food not breaking or something....
this is the filter

It might be a bacteria bloom. Your tank needs to cycle before anything happens. My tank has a really large bacteria bloom, as in my fishes and turtles got lost in the water. The best thing is to wait it out and wait for the beneficial bacterias to come and clear it up. My water is currently crystal clear.

Okay, you have a what we call the nitrogen cycle going on. When the nitrogen cycle first begins, the water becomes cloudy.

As the nitrogen cycle continues, first start doing only 25% water changes (one fourth of the water), once a week for the first few weeks. Afterward, you should only do 50% water changes. You will see the cloudiness gradually go away, and then the water will become very clear.
