Question.


I have a 50 gallon tank, with no fish or live plants. All in it right now is gravel, plastic plants, glass rocks, and castles. It has been running with a filter for a week, maybe 2 weeks, the water was conditioned.....now I have been seeing dense cloudiness. If the sunlight hits the tank it really brings it out too =( seems as if it's getting worse as time goes by. I am at a loss here.

So I ask, why is this happening and how do I rid it?
 
If sunlight hitsthe tankt at all, why not have plants? It's hard to keep an aquarium in dynamic balance without any plants.

If you have a friend with a planted tank with clear water, a gallon of mulm siphoned off the top of the gravel will give you a founder population of the plankton that will clear your water.
 
I keep a very dark atmosphere so sunlight is not an option, I just had the window open to air out the basement a bit, and I'm really into the black/purple plastic plants, can't have them live =P


I just need to clear this water, and why is this happening??? NO amonia level what-so-ever.... =\
 
cloudiness is perfectly normal. It happens when tanks are cycling. Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy. It will go away in a week or two. This is not a problem that needs to be fixed.
