Cloudy water

[N.Sreefer]

Do a 25 gallon water change turn the skimmer on put some air let the fish get some oxygen

Ok should the fish and other turbo be fine until Monday maybe because I can’t get out and get water until then. But I need to know if the tank will survive.

I will clean and do water change on Monday

Will it be fine?

That would explain the cloudyness its probably a bacterial bloom from 2 much free nutrients something def nuked it whether it was feeding or dead livestock. Most important thing is to aid in nutrient export do the biggest water change you can.

Did a big water change and this foamy stuff started forming at the top, have any idea what it is

Probably excess organics in your tank. If you can run a bit of activated carbon, that should sort it. I’m guessing you haven’t got a skimmer.

It should settle out looks like its just from pouring the new water in, if you run an airstone in saltwater your tank will get foam like that. How many gph does the equipment on your tank push? As long as the tank has proper flow and enough biological space (rocks sand even non porous surfaces like glass) you should see the cloudiness subside over the next day or 2. If your fish start breathing rapidly I would suggest putting a wavemaker right at the surface of the tank to boost O2 until the cloudiness subsides altogether.

Awesome thank you both
