Hello,

For the past 2 days my water has been very cloudy out of no where. All my turbo snails have become very lethargic and are exposing themselves out there shells. I did water tests and have the following.
NH3/NH4: .08ppm
Nitrates: 0
Nitrites: 0
Alk: 9.1
Ph: 8.0
Temp: 78

Everything else in the tank is acting fine. I did a 20% water change but the water is still fairly cloudy. this is an AIO 20 gal IM. Anyone have any idea what is causing any of this?

Thank you

Please post ppic under white lights as there are a few types of blooms. Often it points to filters and maintenance

It has gotten a bit better. Water is still clouding a bit and I can’t seem to get rid of the cloud on the top water. Any suggestions. What would be an optimal set up for my AOI filtration.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
