New tank, bacteria bloom

[ReignsAngel]

Our new 29g tank has been clouded for the past 4 days. I've been doing partial water changes and hoping it will clear up. The tank mates seem to be doing fine. Any advice/suggestions? Should I be concerned? ​

:look:
My husband is a little anxious to see his babies clearly again (as am I).​

​

Thanks!

do 3 50% WCs back to back to back. This will compleatly turn over 92.5% of the water, leaving you with only 7.5% of the cloudy stuff.

Do NOT do major water changes, do not be concerned. Bacterial blooms are very common in newer tanks, and will clear up on their own. continue the normal partial water changes, and don't worry about the fish. Everything will be fine.

I agree, huge water changes would proabaly make it worse, watch water parm's. this is very common in new setup's....

Definatly nothing to be alarmed about. Its just a bloom of bebeficial bacteria, very common in new tanks because new tanks.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I feel less stressed about it now.
I'm going to continue with the small water changes and just keep an eye on things.
