Why Is My Fish Tank Water Cloudy: WATCH BEFORE CLEANING CLOUDY TANK WATER

Why Is My Fish Tank Water Cloudy? Cloudy water can be annoying and baffling and don’t worry, you are not alone having that struggle. For sure, all hobbyists are experiencing and feeling the same way. There are many answers as to why your fish tank is cloudy and it usually depends upon the circumstances and the level of maintenance that you’ve done for the fish tank.

Maintaining the fish tank may be time-consuming, drastic, and not at all friendly with the budget, but as a pet owner, all you can ever think of is what’s best for your pet fish.

This article will help you determine the possible causes of cloudy water and we’ll come up with some know-how tips and recommendations to fix this problem. But let’s start first with the “New Tank Syndrome” because this is the first occurrence of the cloudy waters.

What Is A New Tank Syndrome?
A new tank syndrome is a well-known occurrence to aquarists, especially to those first-timers who knew nothing about the phenomenon that can happen when you introduce the fish tank to the fish. To specify, new tank syndrome is the vast rising of the nitrate levels to a highly abnormal state that leads to the cloudiness of the water.

When you introduce the fish to their new home, the high nitrate level, the presence of ammonia, plants, and fish leftovers and fish waste products can become factors as to why the fish tank becomes too cloudy.

The Causes Of Cloudy Water
Gravel Residue
Milky white cloudy fish tank is only temporary because of poorly-rinsed gravel. When you restart the filter, there might be the residue of debris and the tiny air bubbles are the one that creates a white haze.

Despite having “suitable for immediate use” written in the packaging, still, you have to rinse the gravel before you put it in the fish tank. If you are still having problems with cloudy water after rinsing the gravel, then it might be the bacteria bloom.

Bacterial Bloom
Bacterial Bloom is a phenomenon that anyone can experience when they have set up a newly bought aquarium. During the first few stages of the tank cycling process, this bacteria buildup can produce ammonia, which is the cause of the milky water. This would usually take about 1-2 days until it will clear again.

Milky waters are not harmful to the fish but if by chance that the fish is gasping for air during this period, you place the fish out of the fish tank and conduct a 50% water change just so to decrease the number of bacteria and increase the oxygen supply.
