[fish77]

What causes cloudy water? Can my fish live long term in cloudy water? How can I fix it?

Thanks for your help,fish77

can you give us more details on the tank. how long has it been setup, what type of equipment, how much LR ect.

^Agree, this will help us identify what the route of the problem is.

Without knowing the exact specifics of the tank, cloudy water is GENERALLY a result of a bacterial bloom. This can be ok, but it can also be bad. More info will help us determine which it is, and why.

The live stock:

What kind of water are you using for water changes? Has the tank been cloudy since you set it up or is it a recent occurrence? Possible ionic imbalance or abiotic precipitation.

also, how old and what type of lights?(maybe old/bad bulbs are causing an algae bloom)

How often, and with what, do you clean the wet/dry filter?
