So I made the mistake of using accu-clear on my tank roughly 3 weeks ago, I forget the exact reason but I think I saw a slight cloudiness and just wanted to clear it up quick for some pictures. Well as soon as I added it to my tank it instantly made my water insanely cloudy to the point I could see the cloudiness moving within my water current, since then I’ve tried using seachems clarity, I’ve tried adding stability and prime and even did a %50 water change NOTHING has made any difference. Im not sure if the accu-clear cause some type of bacterial bloom within my tank or if its just the leftover chemical moving thorough out my water but I’m almost at a complete loss. I ordered a uv sterilizer off amazon that should be here in 2 days in the hopes that it will somehow help but if it doesn’t does anyone have any idea what I can do? I’d prefer to not basically scrap the water and do a %100 water change as I don’t really have the means to do that with my current setup of 5gallon Buckets. My clownfish and snails/hermit crabs seem to be doing fine but I don’t want to add anything new to the tank with it looking like this just to be safe so trying to clear it up asap
 
Use granulated activated carbon to absorb organics (DOC) that feed bacteria.
