I have a 125 gallon cichlid tank that when you look from end to end it is hazy. Looking straight at it,it looks pretty good except when you look up at lights. I just can't clear it up. Does everyone have this problem? I have stopped feeding for a few days and did not change appearance. I have run a micron filter and still nothing, I feed lightly, do my maintenance and still can't clear it up, no phosphates, water parameters are great! It has quite a few fish, but my parameters show that it is not overloaded. Help please, this is very frustrating!


2 eheims 2217 for bio/mechnical filtration
1 magnum 350 for mechnical filtration
1 pequin 300 for mechnical filtration

0 ammonia
0 nitrites
5 nitrates(do water change at 10)
 
I've had it once an occassion or two.

it happened with bacterial bloom and once after a blackout. I also had a DYI, CO2 generator fall over and send sugar,yeast into the tank..it doesn't take much of that..let me tell ya..LOL
with the yeast/sugar water..I changed 50% then again a day later. with the others I dis water changes but eventually they cleared up.
 
accidentally hit send twice..I think :rolleyes:
 
I heard some people say use peroxcide?
