Today was my maitenance day and since I have sand as my substrate, I stir it weekly to prevent the build up of anerobic gasses. But it seems every time i stir it the water gets REALLY cloudy and it's making me angry. When I first bought the substrate (Tahitian Moon Sand) I did the bucket overflow, stir the sand, with hose technigue to clean it, I did this for about 20 to 30 minutes and the water in the bucket appeared pretty clear.
Today I also did a 35% water change like I do every week along with siphoning up the crud on the bottom.
Do you guys have any tips on getting rid of cloudy water. The tank looks very poor and I am unsure on what to do.
The tank is a 20g and the substrate is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches deep.
