Cloudy water

[itzyoboiricky]

I have cloudy water yet my ammonia levels are at zero so it doesn't make sense why this is happening.

Can we see a picture?

Most likely a bacteria bloom.

well, I don't think it's a bacteria bloom because the corals and my clown is doing fine btw it's a 20 gallon long and know for sure I'm not overstocking cause its just one clown and three corals but as soon as I get home, I'll take a picture of it. right now I'm just dosing the tank with Seachem stability.

Bacteria blooms are harmless.

The bacteria will not affect corals and fish.

The only thing they can do, is deplete oxygen from the water, which is dangerous.

Looks like a bacteria bloom.

Make sure there is a lot of surface agitation to help with gas exchange, so your corals and fish don't suffocate.

There isn't much you can do, besides getting a UV sterilizer, or adding carbon.

Try not to do water changes, because that will make it worse, even though it seems it will make it better.

It will be 100% clear in no time!

If it's already clear, then it was most likely a small bacteria bloom!

I agree that it is a bacteria bloom. Also, ammonia doesn't make water cloudy.
