not to dig up an old thread, but can anyone tell me why exactly my tank stays a bit cloudy? it's not bad at all, i can still see clearly through the tank, it just kind of looks like there's a cloud of sand in the water (and i dont have sand in his tank)
i do a water change once a week (a little less than half the water comes out i think) and he has 1 larger HOB filter that's newer, and 2 smaller in tank turtle filters with one of them at least having cycled media from my fish tank. i also use prime, so if it's ammonia build up from an uncycled filter it shouldnt be harmful to him. i actually just did a water test and there's very little, if any, ammonia in the water but i also just did a water change.
should i go a bit longer until the next water change to let the filter cycle if it hasnt already, or would this be caused by something else?
