hi guys, i have a fairly new tank, and im new at this so this may be a very simple thing that will clear up but, i fed my three babies some mandrin orange with the permission of someone in one of the chat rooms, there is no problem with them but i noticed this morning that my water is cloudy...will this clear up by itself or should i do i water change??


any information would be helpful!

In a stable fully cycled tank the water should be crystal clear. The tank is in an equalibrium status. Anything that upsets this equalibrium will affect the water quality. Sometimes the symptoms will show up as cloudy water. A healthy tank will usually recover in a day or so. Changing water will usually help.

Oranges will do this to a tank. Any time I give my babies oranges I do a 20-30% water change also scrub down the glass too.......Also check all the water parameters to make sure its all in goo check.
